Blackburn Rovers Cast Eyes Over Sonny Inzalaco
Blackburn Rovers are taking a look at Australian goalkeeper Sonny Inzalaco on trial. The 18-year-old is currently on the books of Perth RedStar FC and has been linked with a switch to Charlton Athletic in the past. However, nothing materialised, and he stayed with Perth RedStar FC.
Inzalaco has impressed in a behind-closed-doors friendly match for Blackburn Rovers, and the club is now weighing up a potential move. If he joined Rovers, he would likely initially link up with their development side with a view to breaking into the first-team down the line.
What Happens Next?
Blackburn Rovers face a Carabao Cup away trip to League One side Burton Albion on Saturday. They then kick-start the new league campaign with a tricky home match against relegated Wolves next Friday. Inzalaco will be eager to impress during the rest of his trial spell and follow in the footsteps of fellow Australian goalkeepers to play in England like Mark Schwarzer, Adam Federici, and Matthew Ryan.
Goalkeeping Department Latest
Blackburn Rovers have a decision to make about whether to offer Inzalaco a contract. Rovers could see him as one for the future. If he joined Rovers, he would likely initially link up with their development side with a view to breaking into the first-team down the line. Mowbray's goalkeeping department could be in line for a shake-up over the coming weeks before the end of the transfer window.
Balazs Toth may head out the exit door over the coming weeks amid attention from elsewhere. Aynsley Pears remains in their squad, whilst they also have Jack Barrett and Felix Goddard at their disposal. If Toth is sold, Blackburn Rovers would need to find an adequate senior replacement. Pears has struggled for minutes over recent years and won't be their number one.
