Blackburn Rovers to sign two new strikers after losing Leon Best to injury.

Blackburn Rovers have signalled their intention to sign two new strikers after Leon Best was ruled out for six months.

Best is a summer signing from Newcastle United but he suffered an injury in a pre-season friendly with AEK Athens, and Blackburn's global advisor Shebby Singh has revealed that the club will return to the transfer market for a forward.

Singh told BBC Radio Lancashire: "What we have to do now is find a good replacement and supplement that.

"There is still time for us to do that. Three weeks will be enough time for us to ensure we start the season with a very competitive strikeforce."

It is believed that Blackburn are interested in Huddersfield Town striker Jordan Rhodes, but they have been informed he is not for sale.
