Blackburn Rovers captain Christopher Samba has once again said that he wants to leave, and insists that he wants "a divorce" because he cannot give 100 per cent anymore.

Samba, 28, has handed in a transfer request with PSG, Tottenham and Queens Park Rangers all interested in the £7 million-rated centre-back. Blackburn have stood firm and maintained that the defender will not be allowed to leave, but Samba is sure that his future no longer lies at Ewood Park.

"When a couple don't get on they get a divorce, and that's what me and Blackburn have to do," he told the Sun. "Blackburn need players who are 100% for the club, and I'm not.

"The only way to solve this is for them to let me go. It will be very difficult for me to play for this team again. I'm at the end of the road here. I'm not going to change so, for their good and mine, they must sell me now."
