All the latest transfer news surrounding Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers are at risk of suffering relegation from the Championship in 2026 unless they can turn their form around.

Valerien Ismael’s side are sitting just four points above the relegation zone this January, and will need to find improvements in order to avoid the drop into League One.

The Lancashire outfit have not competed in the third tier since 2018, and they will be keen to ensure it stays that way.

The January transfer window provides the club with an opportunity to strengthen the first team squad in a bid to fend off the likes of Norwich City and Oxford United, who currently occupy two of the bottom three places.

Here we look at all the latest transfer news involving Blackburn, with the market set to shut on 2 February…

Blackburn compete for Ismael Boura signing

Blackburn are in the mix alongside Preston North End and Hull City for the signing of Ismael Boura this month.

According to Football Insider, the full-back is attracting interest from the trio of Championship clubs following his performances in Ligue 2.

The left-back has so far contributed one goal and two assists from 17 appearances in the French second division this season, with the side competing for promotion to the top flight.
