Blackburn Rovers are considering signing the 30-year-old English attacking midfielder Dele Alli, who is a free agent. The club is looking at alternatives after a deal for Ryotaro Ito did not complete. A move to the Championship is proposed as a logical fit for Alli, whose career has not progressed as expected since his time with Tottenham and England, particularly under manager Tony Mowbray. It is suggested that a supportive environment suited to Alli could be created by Mowbray's reputation for building player confidence. Although the signing would be a gamble, the potential rewards are viewed as making the move a sensible option. Alli has 37 caps and 3 goals for England. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €1.00m. Other clubs, including Monza and West Ham United, have also been linked with the free agent.
