Olsson: Has attracted interest

Olsson has attracted plenty of interest since Rovers' relegation to the Championship at the end of last season, with Stoke, Chelsea and Southampton said to be among his suiters.

Kean said: "The way it worked with Martin was when he was away (on Euro 2012 duty with Sweden), there was a lot of interest in him.

"I have sat down with Martin and said to him we want him to play.

"He is getting over a groin operation and is probably not going to be fit for the start of the season, but I have said we want to keep him and look at extending his contract.

"I think there were clubs who enquired and we said 'not for sale'."

Olsson's Blackburn team-mate Scott Dann, meanwhile, is reported to be interesting Southampton.
