A deal was put in place when it was reported that personal terms had been negotiated for the nine players who had been linked to Blackburn Rovers this summer, including Chelsea's prodigy.

Blackburn Rovers are heading into a big summer transfer window as they look to make vast improvements on a though 2023/24 campaign.

Blackburn Rovers found themselves deep in the relegation fight in the season just completed, only sealing survival on the final day of the season thanks to a Sammie Szmodics brace in a win over Leicester City.

The goals of Championship top scorer Szmodics were pivotal in Rovers’ survival and the club must now strengthen across the board if they’re to avoid a similar situation next time around.

The transfer window doesn’t begin until June 14th, but the rumour mill is already spinning at some rate.

Here, we highlight the nine players linked with Blackburn Rovers so far this summer and assess the likelihood of each deal materialising…

Aodhan Doherty

Starting off with a deal that looks to be done, reports in Northern Ireland have said that Blackburn Rovers will be signing Linfield prospect Doherty for £100,000 this summer.

How likely is this deal?

There’s been no official confirmation of the deal yet but with concrete reports and Rovers’ liking for upcoming prospects, this seems like one that will be announced in due course.
