Tony Mowbray says Blackburn Rovers are reluctant to part with their best players as he strives to build a team capable of challenging for promotion next season.
Star midfielder Bradley Dack has been linked with both Aston Villa and Sheffield United, while Blades’ boss Chris Wilder has had a long-standing interest in defender Darragh Lenihan.
However, in an interview with the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, the Rovers boss has insisted he is looking at strengthening rather than weakening his squad.
“I think we’re looking at up to five (new signings) – let’s wait and see,” he said.
