If Blackburn Rovers sign a striker by the deadline, they will allow Harry Leonard to go out on loan. Plymouth is one of the clubs keen on acquiring him, along with Portsmouth. The decision hinges on Blackburn's ability to finalize a deal for Nantes striker Mustafa Mohamed. Blackburn's bid for the Egyptian international involves a loan on full wages, but Nantes prefer a permanent transfer for £3.6 million, either now or in the summer.
