Blackburn Rovers need to strengthen in a number of areas this summer but one highlighted by manager John Eustace is out wide.
Blackburn Rovers boss Eustace said at a recent fan AGM that while several players are wanted, exciting wingers with pace will be on the shopping list this summer.
It’s something the side has been missing for a couple of seasons now with signings struggling to really star at Ewood Park. As such, it looks to be an area of importance in the transfer window.
Links have circulated but no business has been done yet, so hopefully business picks up soon.
With exciting wingers wanted by Eustace, we put forward three players that the Blackburn Rovers hierarchy should consider to bring some serious threat to the Championship club’s wide ranks.
Lewis Morgan – New York Red Bulls
Starting off with an overseas option, Blackburn Rovers could do worse than casting their eyes to America for Scottish attacker Morgan, who has hit fantastic form with New York Red Bulls.
Playing as a left-winger or striker, Morgan has notched nine goals and three assists in 17 games this season. Such form earned him a return to the Scotland squad for EURO 2024, but he’s now back in the States after their group stage exit.
Morgan is a speedy winger with the ability in front of goal to find success centrally, but as Eustace eyes pace out wide, it could be that he’s used there more by the Rovers boss.
