Brighton are planning on sending talented teenager Andrew Moran on a loan to Championship side Blackburn Rovers.
Brighton have the luxury of more than one talented Irish players, with Dublin born Andrew Moran also on the books.
He and his fellow Seagulls star Evan Ferguson represent a bright future for clubs and country.
Moran however is less ready for Premier League action than his compatriot, having only made three senior appearances for Brighton over the past two seasons.
Therefore in order to help him develop and get more minutes on the pitch, Brighton are planning to send him on loan to the league below.
Moran to join Blackburn on-loan
The Ireland under-21 midfielder is reportedly set for a season-long move to Blackburn Rovers in the Championship.
This comes according to reports from Irish publication Independent.ie who claim that the highly rated midfielder will undergo a medical soon before the deal is completed.
Moran joined Brighton in 2020 from Irish side Bray Wanderers and has this summer penned a new deal.
Moran has been a regular in the under-21 side but couldn’t make the jump right now to the senior squad, an issue he will be hoping the loan will solve.
Moran is capped for Ireland at various youth levels from under-15 right up to under-21, he will be hoping some solid Championship displays could put him in line for a call-up to the seniors ahead of next summers European Championships.
He joins a solid Blackburn side who finished seventh last season, narrowly missing out on the playoffs.
They’ve picked up four points from the first three games this season.
