Transfer news: Gary Bowyer hoping to keep Jordan Rhodes at Blackburn

New Blackburn Rovers boss Gary Bowyer claims he is under no pressure to sell and is hoping to fend off interest in Jordan Rhodes.

Competitive

On his conversations with the Blackburn board regarding summer transfer business, Bowyer added: "I've not been told that we have to sell anybody, that's been perfectly clear. "I'm aware that we're making funds available to sign people already, like we have done. We'll be competitive in the market. "I don't think there's any pressure to reduce the wage bill. Obviously with the financial fair play there's a lot of talk about that at the moment so that's something we have to look at, but there's no indication to say you must reduce the wage bill by a certain amount. "But I'm fully aware of the fact that one or two players might want to leave. If that's the case then we would have to strike the best deal for the club."
