Blackburn Rovers keen on Michael Obafemi

A serious leg muscle injury suffered midway through last season, which restricted his appearances at Southampton to five over the season, pushed him down Stephen Kenny’s pecking order but a prospective move to Blackburn could get his club career back on track.

Tony Mowbray says Michael Obafemi could emulate Adam Armstrong’s revival in the Championship if he lures the Southampton striker to Blackburn Rovers in the coming days.

Armstrong is on his way to the Premier League after the clubs agreed an €18m fee on Monday morning while Ireland international striker Obafemi appears to be heading the opposite direction as a standalone deal.
