3 midfielders Blackburn Rovers should target in January after Mowbray admission, including 2018/19 loan star

The72's James Ray argues that Blackburn Rovers should target three specific midfielders in the upcoming January transfer window after manager Tony Mowbray confirmed plans to strengthen central midfield. Following a summer window with only three signings and Adam Forshaw sidelined, Mowbray's side requires additional experience and pedigree to reinforce options alongside Kristi Montgomery, Sam Morsy, Moussa Baradji, and Jake Garrett.

Ray recommends targeting Fulham's Harrison Reed, Sunderland's Alan Browne, and IF Elfsborg's Julius Magnusson. Reed has struggled for Premier League minutes under Alvaro Arbeloa, while Browne also faces limited playing time in Sunderland's top-flight campaign. The writer also suggests Icelandic international Magnusson could be secured on a permanent transfer fee from Elfsborg.
