Now, Blackburn Rovers appear focused on Theo Sander, who had interest from clubs like Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Brentford before joining Copenhagen last summer. He previously made 14 appearances in the Danish Superliga for Aalborg.

Regarding transfer activity, Rovers have made just one addition this summer, bringing in Northern Irish teenager Aodhan Doherty from Linfield. Manager John Eustace emphasized the need to bolster the squad ahead of the upcoming season following their 2-1 pre-season friendly win over Accrington Stanley. He stated to the Lancashire Telegraph, “We want to add good quality all over the pitch and I hope we can do that.”

“I aim to bring in talented players to increase competition for positions. With Leo Wahlstedt’s departure, it’s clear we need to fill that spot to challenge Pearsy. This applies across the board for all positions.

“Our squad is strong but we lack depth; we saw in the second half that it was very youthful. While that’s promising, we also need to support the first XI.

“I’m here to build a successful team, and bringing in quality players is crucial to that goal.

“We must also enhance our quality in the attacking third. Today, we had several excellent chances, and we need to be more clinical in finishing.”
