Blackburn Rovers have signed Partizan Belgrade midfielder Radosav Petrovic for an undisclosed fee.

The 22-year-old has signed a four-year contract at Ewood Park after receiving a work permit.

The 6ft 4in defensive midfielder has made 19 appearances for Serbia, having made his debut for the country in August 2009.

Boss Steve Kean said: "Many European clubs were interested and we consider signing him a major coup."
