John Eustace is targeting another 'three or four' players to bolster Blackburn Rovers' squad before the transfer window ends.

Rovers have been particularly busy this week, breaking their duck in the market and adding six new faces to the squad. Two of those were involved at Stockport County, in Makhtar Gueye and Yuki Ohashi, whilst Kyle McFadzean, Danny Batth and Andi Weimann are still getting up to speed.

Sam Szmodics' future is still to be resolved which will have a bearing on future recruitment plans but Eustace is clear that the work hasn't stopped.

A midfield, wide players, full-backs and a goalkeeper remain high on the priority list to even out Rovers' squad. The head coach wants more additions before the window ends.

"Yeah (I'd like a midfielder). I'd like another three or four players if I'm being honest," Eustace told The Lancashire Telegraph.

"If we want to be competitive and go home and away in the Championship. It's a ruthless league and we still need to bring more players in.

"Wide players, full-backs, you can see we have no cover in those areas. Just to make the team competitive and that's what we want to do.

"I don't think anything is particularly close. The club are working hard to get the right targets so nothing will happen over the weekend."

Rovers have added plenty of Championship experience to the squad this week with the additions of McFadzean, Batth and Weimann particularly.

Their knowledge of the division will be vital and whilst they will play an important role this season, Eustace suggested they won't be first names on the team sheet.

"It's important that the players we've brought in aren't necessarily here to play week in, week out," he said.

"They're here to make sure we develop the players in the right way. They have Championship experience, they know the level and they've been very successful. That can only help the group."
