Ethan Pye, a 23-year-old English defender who would require a transfer fee, is a potential target for Blackburn Rovers. Pye's future is dependent on this weekend's League One play-off final between his club, Stockport County, and Bolton Wanderers. If Stockport does not achieve promotion, it is almost certain that Pye will attract interest from the Championship. Blackburn Rovers is a potential destination, partly due to the clubs' proximity. Pye is considered to deserve an opportunity at Championship level, as he has played in the National League, League Two, and League One, and has an excellent availability record. He joined Stockport in July 2021 and has a contract until 2027. His current market value is €900k, according to Transfermarkt.
