Blackburn Rovers eyeing moves for Stoke City player and veteran defender

Blackburn Rovers seem to be active in the transfer window now, following a slow start to the summer.

As things stand, Jack Barrett is their only senior addition of the summer transfer window thus far, with the ex-Everton man potentially coming in to replace Leopold Wahlstedt.

But they are now looking to outfield players, with Alan Nixon reporting that Rovers are taking a closer look at Stoke City midfielder Lewis Baker and experienced central defender Danny Batth.

Batth is currently a free agent following the end of his time at Norwich City, with the centre-back spending just one season at Carrow Road.

Having joined from Sunderland last summer, he looked set to be a very good addition for the Canaries, but he didn’t feature a lot under David Wagner despite shining for the Black Cats during the 2022/23 campaign.

At 38, the player may be entering the latter stages of his career now, but he has shown that he can still cut it in the Championship and he could prove to be a very good squad player.

However, with his time at Norwich in mind, he may be hesitant to join a side that may only offer him a limited amount of game time.
