Blackburn have signed winger Reda Khadra on a season-long loan deal from Premier League side Brighton as well as full-back Tayo Edun from Lincoln.

The 20-year-old Khadra is Rovers' fourth summer signing and joins his Seagulls teammate Jan Paul van Hecke on loan at the Championship club.

After joining Brighton in October 2020, Khadra went on to make his senior debut against Manchester City in January.

Meanwhile, Edun, 23, joins for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal.

A Germany Under-18 international, Khadra came through Borussia Dortmund's academy prior to joining Brighton.

Brighton technical director Dan Ashworth said: "Reda has progressed really well during his time with the club, and he has been involved with the first-team squad for pre-season, after making his Premier League debut last season.

"This loan will provide him with the opportunity to play regularly in the Championship with Blackburn."

Edun began his career with Fulham before moving to Lincoln in January 2020, making 54 appearances for the club.
