Rovers want to bring Toulouse striker Rhys Healey to Ewood Park this summer if Armstrong leaves (Lancashire Telegraph).
We think that Blackburn planning for life without the 24-year-old is a great sign for West Ham. And we cannot wait around. Let’s get this one wrapped up and done as soon as possible.
Armstrong would be a great addition for the Hammers.
Blackburn boss Tony Mowbray recently described the former Newcastle ace as an explosive centre-forward (Evening Express).
The Blackburn hitman is incredibly mobile, possesses blistering pace and works his socks off each and every time he takes to the pitch.
He racked up an incredible 28 goals in 40 league games and finished the season behind only Brentford striker Ivan Toney in the Championship goalscoring charts (Transfermarkt).
