Blackburn Rovers are keeping tabs on Stockport County midfielder Will Collar, as per a report by Lancashire Live. The former Brighton and Hove Albion man has helped Dave Challinor’s side rise into the League Two play-offs by scoring eight goals. Jon Dahl Tomasson’s side are also believed to be interested in Tranmere Rovers’ Josh Hawkes as they weigh up potential summer targets.

Swansea City and Watford eye right-back

According to GVA, second tier pair Swansea City and Watford are keen on Roma right-back Bryan Reynolds. The 21-year-old is currently out on loan in Belgium at Westerlo to get some experience under his belt but is believed to be attracting attention from the Football League. He is due to return to his parent club at the end of the season but is facing an uncertain long-term future in Serie A.

Burnley to turn to target again

Burnley could rekindle their interest in Anderlecht goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen. That’s according to Het Laatste Nieuws, who claim he could re-emerge on Vincent Kompany’s radar when this current campaign is over. The 20-year-old has been on the books at Constant Vanden Stock Stadium since 2020 after he joined from NAC Breda.
