Blackburn Rovers are keen on permanently signing on-loan Swansea City forward Marvin Emnes.

The Championship side secured the loan signing of Emnes on transfer deadline day, and has hugely impressed during his 11 appearances at Ewood Park so far this season.

The Dutchman has netted three goals and acquired three assists in that time too, despite Rovers sitting in 23rd place in the second tier.

Now, Blackburn boss Owen Coyle has insisted that he wants Emnes to stay in Lancashire permanently, and hopes the former Middlesbrough man can turn out many more times in a blue and white shirt. He said:

Emnes has been terrific. When he gets one-on-one with people, you don’t really want to be a defender facing up to him. He’s loving being at the club and he’s another one I’d love to have here permanently.

Emnes’ loan expires in January, but by then, could Blackburn be prepared to bid for the permanent transfer?

New Swansea manager Bob Bradley is yet to really see Emnes in action, so it’s hard to see if he’s in the American’s plans at the Liberty Stadium.

Should we sell Emnes permanently?
