According to a source in The Sun, Blackburn Rovers, Middlesbrough, and Coventry City are all interested in Plymouth Argyle defender Brendan Galloway.
In the summer of 2021, Galloway signed a contract with Plymouth Argyle when his deal with Luton Town expired. The Zimbabwean international has struggled with injuries throughout his career, but at Home Park this year, he’s drawn attention.
Since making a comeback to the field in November, Galloway has established himself as a starter under Ian Foster, starting most of the time on the left side of the back three. But his contract with the Pilgrims expires this summer, and other parties are becoming more interested.
According to The Sun, Middlesbrough, Coventry City, and Blackburn Rovers—the three Championship teams—are all big fans of Galloway.
Since Plymouth Argyle hasn’t extended an offer to the 27-year-old, its second-tier rivals may be able to take advantage of the situation.
One to hold onto
Since regaining his fitness, Galloway has established himself as a valuable member of the Plymouth Argyle team. Although he has maintained his starting position in the back three, he can also play as a left-back or wing-back because of his prior experience in those positions.
It appears he’ll have chances to stay in the Championship if the Pilgrims don’t force him into a new contract. Blackburn Rovers, Middlesbrough, and Coventry City might all be desirable choices, especially considering the first two’s potential for advancement.
You would have to assume that Argyle would do all in their power to hang onto Galloway after such a good breakthrough season under Foster. Only time will tell how things work out for him, since interest from other sources is mounting and he must make the final decision.
Galloway, though, will be concentrating on supporting Plymouth in their battle to avoid relegation until then. After defeating Middlesbrough over the weekend, they are now five points clear of the drop in the Championship standings, sitting in 15th place.
