Blackburn Rovers are reportedly exploring a move to sign Sunderland forward Timur Tutyerov in the January transfer window.
Journalist Alan Nixon has reported Blackburn's interest in the versatile Ukrainian as they weigh up potential improvements to their squad in January.
The 21-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Exeter City in League One, scoring three goals in 17 league appearances.
Tutyerov remained at the Stadium of Light following the summer transfer window but he has been limited to just one outing in the EFL Cup.
Despite signing a new deal in the summer that expires in June 2028, Tutyerov's long-term future looks uncertain at Sunderland.
Blackburn could provide a faster route to first-team football as he looks to establish himself in the English game.
Manager Tony Mowbray was left frustrated with the club's transfer activity this summer and it is believed that he will backed in January.
Blackburn are currently 16th in the Championship table and Mowbray will be eyeing reinforcements to stave off the threat of relegation.
