Jon Dahl Tomasson wants Blackburn Rovers to sign three more players in the last week of the January transfer window.

The head coach has seen three new faces arrive at Ewood Park this month. Connor O'Riordan was the first permanent addition, joining loan signings Yasin Ayari and Ben Chrisene this week.

Two players have left Rovers, James Hill and Lewis Travis, leaving the squad one player up in terms of numbers. However, untimely injuries to Hayden Carter and Harry Pickering have left the defensive options short once more.

It's understood Tomasson wants to sign an experienced centre-back and a forward player before Thursday's cut-off. That has been clearly communicated to the club and he's hopeful the new signings will be delivered.

The Rovers boss insisted he is 'excited' about what the final week of the window could bring. 

"I think the club have said we need experienced players and I totally agree," he said.

"I can't imagine that it won't be solved. We know what the club should have done in the summer, this is a new opportunity. The project did change, it has been a difficult financial situation and we have to respect that.

"For me, I think there should be three more in, for sure. If you look at the summer and what the club lost, I think that's quite normal. Hopefully, that's possible.

"We all know that we need, that hasn't changed from the summer what we need. The club didn't manage it in the summer, we lost proven goal-scorers and experience. We lost a number of players who are used to playing games at this level.

"The project has changed totally. Now, there are still days left so we should give the club the chance to bring players in.

"We need players with experience and goal-scorers. It hasn't changed. "It will be exciting, I am looking forward to this week. I am excited to see what the club can bring in."
