Kean’s ‘Rhode’ To The Premiership

Huddersfield Town’s prolific goalscorer Jordan Rhodes is set to join Blackburn’s push for promotion back to the Premier League in a deal which could be worth up to £8m.


The 22-year-old Scotland striker will undergo a medical at Rovers on Thursday morning before completing an initial £4.5m deal which dependent on appearances and promotion to the Premier League could be worth as much a £8m.

Steve Kean has been chasing a few strikers since the injury blow to summer signing Leon Best, however Huddersfield have repeatedly criticized the way in which Blackburn make their bids public.

The deal tabled by Rovers is one that many Huddersfield fans have been dreading, a deal which offers Rhodes Premier League wages whilst giving the Terriers a positive financial boost that may help them to survive in the Championship.

Blackburn are undefeated in the league so far and with the addition of such a prolific striker, automatic promotion could be on the cards.
