2 players who could follow Sam Gallagher out of Blackburn Rovers this summer
Sam Gallagher looks set to leave Blackburn Rovers this summer, and there are two other players who could him in his Ewood Park exit.
Sam Gallagher could be on his way out of Blackburn Rovers this summer and some other players may well join him in exiting Ewood Park.
The forward was linked with a January move to Ipswich Town in January, with Blackburn turning down a £2 million bid for the striker. While they were reportedly open to negotiations, they quickly decided it was better to keep Gallagher in the squad and refused to sell him before the window slammed shut.
There is likely to be more interest in the summer and Blackburn could well have a decision to make given his contract situation. The forward extended his deal with Rovers in 2022, signing a two-year deal with the club holding an option for a third year, which means he could leave as a free agent this summer.
The Championship club are unlikely to allow that to happen and will surely trigger the extension if they can’t agree fresh terms but a summer exit could well materialise given the past interest in him.
He may not be the only player that departs – here are two that could follow Gallagher out the door at Ewood Park…
Premier League side Luton Town were reportedly interested in 22-year-old Tyrhys Dolan in January and it would not be a surprise to see them reprise their interest in the summer.
Dolan made his debut for the club in 2020 and went on to make 37 league appearances in his first year at the club.
The forward has been a key player for Blackburn this season, although he has shown to be more important than his goal tally makes him out to be.
The side play better and win more with Dolan in the side, no matter which position he is being played in – as their substantially higher win rate with him in the team proves.
While Rovers will want to do all they can to keep hold of Dolan, the allure of the Premier League may be too much for him to turn down, and the money paid for him could help them to sign a worthy replacement and improve the squad.
