DONE DEAL: Southampton striker Sam Gallagher joins Blackburn Rovers

Southampton striker Sam Gallagher has joined Blackburn Rovers on a season-long loan.

The 20-year-old joins on a season-long deal from the Premier League side, becoming the club's seventh new arrival of the summer.

Gallagher, who has represented both England and Scotland at Under-19 level, made four appearances in the Premier League before scoring his first senior goal as Southampton knocked Yeovil out of the FA Cup in January 2014.

That led to his full debut for the Saints at the age of 18 when he started in a 2-2 draw with Arsenal the following week and he scored his first Premier League goal in a 4-2 win over Norwich that March.
