Sky Sports pundit, Lee Hendrie, believes a move to Norwich City could coax out more consistency from Tyrhys Dolan.
Blackburn Rovers are waiting to discover whether the 23-year-old will extend his stay at Ewood Park. A new deal has been offered but Dolan has openly said he wants to play at the highest level possible.
The forward will be patient this summer and assess his options, as a result. If there is no Premier League move on offer, it'll be interesting to see where he might land in the Championship food chain, if he does leave Rovers.

Norwich City are one of several clubs that have registered an interest in Dolan. They have just appointed Liam Manning as their new head coach and are planning to invest in their squad this summer.
It's widely expected that Borja Sainz could be sold after netting 18 Championship goals, with clubs in Europe keen on the Spaniard. He has one year left on his deal.
Dolan has been cited as a replacement and Hendire believes a fresh environment could see the forward kick on to the next level.
“He's a very similar player to Sainz,” Hendrie told Football League World.
“At times, the only thing that I've questioned is his lack of consistency. There's no doubt that there is a talent in there.
It's just whether the jump and a move away from Blackburn might just bring that out, as we've seen many times when players have gone to Norwich.
“They seem to recruit well, bring players in, and give them an identity. But what Sainz did last season will be very, very hard to replace.
“Dolan would be a similar sort of player who can take people on from wide areas. But to replace Sainz, I couldn't really put him in that category.
“As I said, if you start getting a consistent Dolan, then maybe the move might inspire him to really go and kick on. Overall, I think he'd be a good addition for Norwich.”
