Blackburn manager Mowbray calm about transfer interest for Leeds, Sevilla target Brereton

Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray is calm about transfer interest in Ben Brereton.

Brereton was linked with a move to both Leeds and Sevilla in the summer and has gone from strength to strength this campaign with 12 Championship goals already to his name.

It has been a whirlwind few months for the 22-year-old following his impact on the international stage with Chile but Mowbray is confident that they will be able to keep him beyond the winter window.

Speaking to Lancashire Live, he said: “I'm never worried about selling players. What do you think he's worth, £30 million? £40m?

“It doesn't matter to me, we have to coach the players we've got. If a Premier League or La Liga club, somewhere Ben wants to go, comes and offers us the money that we think is right – I'm not saying we're in the market to sell Ben Brereton because we hope to keep him here, he helps us stay near the top end of this league and keeps scoring goals – but he's still only a very young boy."
