Anzhi Makhachkala lead Steven N'Zonzi chase

Anzhi Makhachkala will reportedly trump Arsenal and Chelsea to the signing of Blackburn Rovers midfielder Steven N'Zonzi at the end of the season.

The Frenchman is one of a number of players thought to be heading for the Ewood Park exit door this summer.

Cash-rich Anzhi are now thought to be planning an £8m move for the coveted 23-year-old, according to The Metro.

N'Zonzi joined Rovers from French club Amiens in 2009 for £500,000.
