Blackburn Rovers are demanding up to £20 million for their prolific forward, Sammie Szmodics. The 28-year-old attacking midfielder has been in sensational form this season, scoring 31 goals in all competitions, attracting interest from Premier League clubs and those potentially facing relegation.

Clubs like Luton Town, Brentford, and Sheffield United have shown interest in Szmodics, but Blackburn’s valuation could be a stumbling block. Rovers are seeking a fee similar to the £18 million paid by Crystal Palace for midfielder Adam Wharton, with the potential to rise to £22 million. Despite Blackburn’s struggles in the Championship, Szmodics’ performances have been a bright spot. He has also earned two caps for the Republic of Ireland, further boosting his appeal in the transfer market.

In other transfer news, Birmingham City is prepared to compete with Sheffield United for the signature of Luke Ayling from Leeds United. Birmingham, backed by American investors, are keen on Ayling, who is currently on loan at Middlesbrough. Ayling, 32, could be a valuable addition to Birmingham’s squad if they can avoid relegation from the Championship.
