Blackburn Rovers have agreed a fee to sign Odds goalkeeper Leopold Wahlstedt, according to Sky Sports

Blackburn Rovers are looking to lure the stopper to England this summer as they prepare for another season under Jon Dahl Tomasson.

Wahlstedt, 24, is a Sweden international with one cap under his belt which came earlier this year against Finland.

Sky Sports claim Rovers have reached an agreement with his current club over a price tag but face competition from Brondby.

Blackburn identify goalkeeper target

Blackburn could see Wahlstedt as an ideal replacement for Thomas Kaminski ahead of next term. He has caught the eye in the Eliteserien over recent years.

He played for the likes of FC Djursholm, AIK and Arendal before signing for Odds as a youngster in 2021. The ‘keeper has since made the number one spot his own at the Skagerak Arena and has made 68 appearances in all competitions, keeping 19 clean sheets.

It has been a relatively quiet summer on the transfer front at Blackburn as they carefully weigh up their options. They have brought in the likes of Niall Ennis, Sondre Tronsad and Arnór SigurdssonAttacking to bolster their squad.

Rovers will need a goalkeeper if Kaminski is to complete a departure in the near future and although they have Ainsley Pears ready to step up, another one will be required to ensure there is sufficient competition for places.

Wahlstedt would obviously lack Championship experience but he is a decent age and has potential to grow and develop in the future having already racked up a useful amount of games so far in his career. He needs to decide between a move to Blackburn or Brondby now with Tomasson patiently waiting.
