Blackburn Rovers want to sign Brighton & Hove Albion centre-back Eiran Cashin, who is a former Derby favourite. Cashin is currently on loan at Birmingham City, but he has not featured as regularly as he would have hoped during his spell at St. Andrew's. This has led to fresh speculation about his immediate future in the Championship. Blackburn are pursuing Cashin as they look to strengthen their defensive options during the January transfer window. It is reported that Rovers would take over Cashin's loan from Birmingham rather than pursue an immediate permanent deal. The club could be open to adding a permanent element to any arrangement if Brighton believe that would serve their interests. It is understood that the relationship between Rovers and the Seagulls is a positive one, which could be important in facilitating such a move during this window. Work is underway for Rovers to act on the situation regarding his Birmingham move.
