Blackburn boss Mowbray open to dea for Southampton striker Obafemi

Blackburn Rovers boss Tony Mowbray admits he's interested in Southampton striker Michael Obafemi.

Rovers are set to lose Adam Armstrong to the Premier League side, with a fee agreed between the two sides and the 24-year-old set for a medical.

“It's something that's been mooted, those sort of things become personal to the point the boy wants to make that move, his advisors have to see it as an opportunity," Mowbray said.

“If it's one he sees as a good chance for him to play more regular football at a level he sees himself doing similar things to Adam and build his reputation.

“It's something we're exploring but I won't sit here and say that anything is happening, we will see in the next couple of days if anything materialises."
