Blackburn need to sign attacking players - Ismael

Blackburn Rovers are looking to sign attacking players before the transfer window closes on Monday, says head coach Valerien Ismael.

Rovers have been linked with Barnsley forward Reyes Cleary but Ismael says one deal has already gone by the wayside.

"We were interested in a player and then the player got injured so it made no sense for us to take them so we had to move on," he told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"We are talking about attacking players. This is what we are looking for - we have some players back but some who will take time."

Blackburn are one point adrift of safety in the Championship's relegation zone and signed striker Mathias Jorgensen from Bodo/Glimt this month as well as defender Eiran Cashin on loan from Brighton, but Ismael says they will need more reinforcements.

"We have to ensure we have enough power for the final push so we have to think about everything, and if we have the possibility of adding another one we will - Sunday and Monday have to be busy for us."

Blackburn host promotion-chasing Hull City on Saturday (15:00 GMT).
