Blackburn Rovers, a club competing in The Championship in England, has expressed interest in Swedish midfielder Axel Henriksson. Reports from Sportbladet indicate that Blackburn Rovers has initiated contact concerning the player, signaling their intent to potentially acquire him. Gais is aware of the interest and has acknowledged that the player could leave during the summer transfer window. The 23-year-old Henriksson was notably missing from Gais' lineup in their recent match against IFK Värnamo, which concluded in a 2–2 draw. This absence has intensified speculation regarding his possible departure. Blackburn has a track record of exploring the Swedish market, having previously been interested in MFF's Colin Rösler, though MFF is reportedly reluctant to part with their defender in the current transfer window. Henriksson's contract is set to expire in December 2026, and his market value is estimated at €1.20 million according to Transfermarkt.
