Blackburn Rovers sign defender Billy Koumetio, striker Duncan McGuire & midfielder John Fleck

John Fleck has played four games for Sheffield United this season, the most recent against Liverpool on 6 December

Blackburn Rovers have signed Liverpool defender Billy Koumetio and Orlando City striker Duncan McGuire on loan with Sheffield United midfielder John Fleck joining on a short-term deal.

Koumetio, 21, joined Liverpool from Orleans in 2018 and has gone on to make two senior Reds appearances.

McGuire, 22, joins with the option to make the move to Ewood Park permanent at the end of the 2023-24 season.

Fleck, 32, made 278 Blades appearances and joins to the end of the campaign.

"With Hayden Carter's injury, we wanted to add pace and physicality. Billy brings both of those attributes to us," said director of football Gregg Broughton.

"Quick, with good movement and a great finisher, Duncan has all of the attributes needed to follow in the footsteps of the many great strikers who have worn our famous colours."

McGuire was a first round draft pick in the 2023 MLS SuperDraft and subsequently joined Orlando where he finished as the club's top scorer with 15 goals in all competitions, making his USA debut earlier this year.

Since signing in 2016, Fleck helped Sheffield United win promotion from League One as well as twice winning promotion to the Premier League.
