Junior Hoilett will reportedly snub a deal to stay at Blackburn Rovers and offers from the Premier League to join Bayern Munich.


The 21-year-old Canadian forward will be out of contract at Ewood Park at the end of the season and is destined to leave having turned down Rovers' attempts to tie him down to an extended stay.

Tottenham were thought to be in the driving seat for his signature, but reports over the weekend now claim German giants Bayern Munich have already held talks with Hoilett's representatives and will hand him a £40,000-a-week contract at the Allianz Arena.

Rovers were looking to pick up around £8million for Hoilett's signature, but now his contract is set to run out they might have to settle for a lower figure in compensation.
