Saunders confirms interest in Chimbonda and Diouf

by Setanta Staff , 27 September 2011 Saunders confirms interest in Chimbonda and Diouf

Dean Saunders is hopeful of adding experienced Barclays Premier League duo Pascal Chimbonda and El-Hadji Diouf to his Doncaster squad in the coming days.


Former Wigan and Tottenham full-back Chimbonda, who is a free agent after being released by QPR, watched Rovers' 1-1 draw with Hull on Tuesday.

Saunders has also held talks with Senegal international Diouf, a reported target of Wigan, having been released by Blackburn earlier in the season.

"I spoke to him (Chimbonda) before the game and will speak to him afterwards," Saunders said. "I haven't discussed the ins and outs but he's obviously interested or he wouldn't be here.

"To sign a player like him at this club would be brilliant. He's gone for millions and millions in his career and it would be brilliant.

"I will discuss with him what he wants to do. He looks fit and is a class player and if I could get him in he would make such a difference to the whole club."

On Diouf, Saunders added: "I'm hopeful it might happen. When it appeared on television yesterday I thought other clubs would have come out of the woodwork and it looks like that might have happened."
