He is currently on loan at Rangers but Rovers want to sign him before the close of the transfer window as they look for a replacement for Robbie Savage.

But it appeared the move would be blocked by FIFA regulations which prevent a player featuring for three clubs in a single season.

A FIFA spokesman: "In general the rule does apply but if a club or player asks FIFA to look at any case it comes to the FIFA legal department.

"A typical example of this situation involved Carlos Tevez last season."

Faye has been training with Blackburn over the last few days.

2005-6 Amdy Faye 35/10 0
Started his career at Auxerre. Born 12 March 1977. Defensive midfield player bought from Portsmouth in January 2005 by Graeme Souness, but didn't have a very good first season. He din't score for Newcastle, sitting very deep, probably too deep at times. Souness left and Roeder sold him to Charlton in August 2006.
