Blackburn sign Jacobsen

Blackburn have signed experienced defender in the form of Lars Jacobsen from Everton.

The Dane spent the last season at the Merseysiders but had only four opportunities throughout the season.

The contract is for two years.

Blackburn faced competition from Premiership newboys Burnley for the player as well but Big Sam was able to get his man in the end.

This is Blackburn's third signing of the season after Elrio van Heerden and Gael Givet.

He would try to reduce the void created by the exits of Andre Ooijer and end of loan contract for Danny Simpson.
