FLW looks at the players that could leave Blackburn Rovers at the end of the season…
Blackburn Rovers are no strangers to player turnover.
During the summer transfer window, they saw nine players leave Ewood Park, including some prominent names like as Bradley Dack and Ben Brereton Diaz.

And, when the January transfer window opens in a few months, there’s evidence to suggest that they’ll be saying goodbye to more faces, whether on a temporary or permanent basis.
You’ll want to know who could depart Blackburn Rovers at the halfway stage of the season, and we’ve got you covered…
Adam Wharton
This option, on the other hand, is unlikely to surprise anyone.
Wharton is presently one of the best young players in the Championship after getting into the Rovers first team last season, and his talent has not gone ignored outside of Lancashire.
Several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur, are said to be monitoring Wharton ahead of the January transfer window, putting Blackburn in a tight position if they want to keep hold of the midfielder.
His spatial knowledge, ball control, and vision belie his age and add a much-needed tranquilly to Jon Dahl Tommasson’s side, but these are also traits that bigger teams want for as well- and they’ll believe they can coax Blackburn into a sale.
Of course, the financial purse strings at Blackburn have recently been tightened significantly as a result of new Indian government restrictions placed on their owners.
While every club has a price for a player, Blackburn’s may be more reasonable for Wharton because they need to generate finances, and there will be plenty of bidders eager to take advantage of that.
Jake Garrett
Garrett, a young midfielder, could benefit from a loan spell to gain valuable first-team experience.
He scored in dramatic EFL Cup winners against Cardiff City and Harrogate Town, as well as the 4-3 home win over Walsall, but he hasn’t been afforded the same volume of opportunities to battle for a spot in the team in league play.
At 20 years old, he has time and may not be too upset about not being a regular, but playing week in and week out at a lower level may be more beneficial for his progression in the long term than making brief cameos from the bench.
We believe a League One move would be appropriate, albeit the player should be looking to play football anywhere he can, and Tomasson may share that opinion as well.
