Blackburn Rovers fans react to Dilan Markanday signing from Tottenham Hotspur

The 20-year-old has put pen-to-paper on a three-and-a-half-year deal and becomes the club’s third January signing.

The forward has one senior first-team appearance for Spurs in the Europa Conference League but has turned down the offer of a new contract in search of regular playing time.

Here's what fans had to say about the signing.

Unbelievable piece of business from us heard nothing but good things about this lad!! Welcome aboard Dilan I’m sure you will do great things for Rovers credit to the club for pulling this off! 🔥🔵⚪️

So good to see us getting busy done relatively early in the window, the earlier they settle in the better
