Since then, Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray has ‘poured cold water’ on the links between Blackburn and the Sheffield United man, as per a report from the Lancashire Telegraph.

Burke to stay at Bramall Lane?

Burke has struggled for game time at Sheffield United in the first half of this campaign after being out with a heel injury in the earlier stages.

Burke could be a real coup for any side in the Championship as when playing consecutive matches and in-form is a real asset in the wide areas.

As for Blackburn, they seem to be targeting signings in the wider areas with Crysencio Summerville and Ryan Hedges being the two linked. Rovers already have plenty of attacking options but with a congested fixture list and Covid-19 striking squad depth is crucial in a promotion battle.
