ZURAB Khizanishvili has been offered a route out of his Ewood Park nightmare having been told he has no future at Blackburn Rovers.

The Georgian international has been told he can leave on a free transfer this summer and is understood to have been offered a three-year deal at an unnamed Turkish outfit.

Khizanishvili was not included in Sam Allardyce’s 26-man squad who travelled to Australia for the Sydney Festival of Football on Thursday and has been informed in no uncertain terms he does not feature in the manager’s plans.

The former Rangers man though is believed to be stalling on accepting the current offer on the table as he prolongs his Rovers career to see if there are other options available to him.

Khizanishvili still has a year left on his contract at Ewood Park but Rovers are keen to offload the defender in an attempt to ease their wage bill as they continue their search for a striker.
