Blackburn Rovers have the opportunity to freshen up their squad in the January transfer window with some reinforcements.
Blackburn Rovers will get the chance to bring in some new faces this winter ahead of the second-half of the season. They are currently positioned in 14th place in the Championship table after 14 fixtures and they are five points off the play-offs behind West Ham in 8th.
Rovers were credited with an interest in Liverpool left-back Luke Chambers over the summer along with fellow second tier teams Portsmouth and QPR. However, nothing materialised in the end and he stayed put at Anfield beyond the deadline in early September.

Tony Mowbray’s side should rekindle their pursuit of him now though and offer him the prospect of regular game time in the EFL. The Preston-born man has made one appearance for the Reds in this campaign in the Champions League and is understandably down the pecking order with the Premier League due to stiff competition for his position.
Blackburn Rovers could provide him with consistent minutes at Ewood Park. He needs a platform to show more of what he can do as opposed to sitting on Liverpool’s bench.
Blackburn Rovers need to rekindle pursuit of Liverpool left-back Luke Chambers in January
Chambers would give Blackburn Rovers more competition and depth in their defensive department. He can offer Rovers another option and something different to what they already have.
The ex-England youth international likes to get up and down the left flank of defence and get involved in attacks. He has been on the books of Liverpool for his whole career to date and and has made five outings for their first-team.
Chambers has also been shipped out on loan to Kilmarnock, Wigan Athletic and Charlton Athletic to get some experience and to boost his development. He played 18 times for the Addicks last term under Nathan Jones during his time at The Valley.
If he was acquired by Blackburn Rovers, he would battle it out with Harry Pickering and Yuri Ribeiro for a place in Mowbray‘s starting XI. At 22, he has potential to get better down the line.

The Verdict: Liverpool’s Luke Chambers would suit Blackburn Rovers
Blackburn Rovers have enjoyed success with past Liverpool loan stars like Harvey Elliott and Owen Beck in the past. Chambers could be the next Reds man to link up with Rovers and catch the eye.
The Lancashire outfit need to ensure that they get their recruitment right in January. They need young and hungry players who are willing to fight for the cause as they push for a place in the top eight against the odds.
