Blackburn Rovers have confirmed transfer interest in Rangers winger Rabbi Matondo - among a list of "60 other players".

The English Championship side have been linked with a swoop for the 23-year-old Welshman this summer.

Manager John Eustace has now admitted Matondo is being considered as a possible transfer target by recruitment staff at Blackburn Rovers.

However, he warned scouts are running the rule over a huge list of candidates this summer as he admitted no deals are "imminent".

Pushed on whether Matondo is a transfer target for Rovers - while another possible signing was also named - Eustace said:  "I think they are on the list along with 60 other players that the recruitment team have been looking at. They are, yes."

Matondo signed for Rangers in 2022, making 63 appearances scoring six goals and providing ten assists for the club. The Wales internationalist has made four appearances under Phillipe Clement this season.

Former Rangers trialist Eustace then told the Lancashire Telegraph: "There is nothing imminent. I wouldn't expect anything before the weekend.

"I am confident we'll get what we need. We've had our recruitment meetings and we have targets that I'd like to bring in and the club want to bring in.

"It's about the right balance and making sure everyone is on the same page. We have eight days left to get the right players in.

"It could do (go down to the wire). It's been no different to the last eight or nine weeks, we have targets that the club want.

"It's important that we make the right signings and get the right characters in. We have a good group of players now. It's important to add more to the group.

"I think most clubs have been in similar situations. We did our business a bit late but we're highlighting the right players that can make us better.

"It's all part of football, everyone has opinions and you have to explore different avenues to get people in. We're very fortunate that we have signed five good players and we're working hard to get players in."
