Blackburn Rovers chairman John Williams has revealed they have an option in place to sign permanently on-loan Audax Italiano midfielder Carlos Villanueva.
Williams said: "We have an option to sign him permanently and it is an irrevocable option.
"Audax Italiano have agreed a price and a deal with us and likewise a contract has already been agreed with the player.
"The situation is entirely down to the Rovers. He would ultimately cost us almost £5million and we will exercise that if we want to. It has to be done by January but that gives us plenty of time."
