Blackburn Rover striker Egil Ostenstad has revealed the First Division team that has expressed an interest in him. The Norweigen International revealed that Crystal Palace were the team to have expressed an interest in him.

Yesterday Blackburn refused to reveal the club until a solid offer was made. Ostenstad had other ideas though and unmasked Palace to NTB by claiming they want him on a months loan.

"They want to loan me for a month".

The striker is not interested in a temporary move though. "Francis said that he was interested in extending the deal after that, but that is something all manager say.

"I want something more permanent than a one-month loan."

Ostenstad is still keen to leave Blackburn though. "I want to get away from the club, that is for sure."
