Blackburn Rovers' Balazs Toth in Transfer Talks with Celtic
Blackburn Rovers' goalkeeper Balazs Toth is reportedly in talks with Celtic, who are looking to sign the Hungarian shot-stopper. Toth was voted the club's Player of the Season in 2025, after keeping eight clean sheets and making almost three saves per game in the Championship.
Why it matters for Blackburn Rovers
The potential departure of Toth would be a significant blow to Blackburn Rovers, who are already 43 points behind leaders Coventry in the Championship. The club has a reputation for developing young talent, and Toth's departure would be a loss for the team.
What comes next?
The transfer window is set to close in less than two weeks, and it remains to be seen whether Celtic will make a formal offer for Toth. The Hungarian goalkeeper has impressed with his performances, and it's likely that Celtic will be keen to sign him.
Blackburn Rovers currently sit 20th in the Championship, with 52 points from 46 games. The team has scored 42 goals and conceded 56, with a goal difference of -14. The club's recent form has been LWDLD, and they will be looking to improve their performances in the coming weeks.
What the experts say
Ex-Blackburn manager Michael O'Neill has praised Toth's performances, saying: 'I can see why he's number one for his country. He's played extremely well in the period I've been here. He is capable of making big saves at key moments of the game. Top goalkeepers do that. He has those traits.'
