Blackburn head coach John Eustace said the club hope to sign "one or two" players of "real quality" in the January transfer window.

Rovers are fifth in the Championship after a run of six consecutive wins put them within five points of the automatic promotion spots.

"I think it's important with all the hard work we've put in. I think everyone connected with the football club wants to keep bringing quality players into the group," Eustace told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"We all want to keep pushing up the league and being competitive. This group we've got now is really competitive and I know that they'll be wanting quality to come through the door. Fans will and staff will as well.

"It's a group effort - we've got to where we are now together and if we can bring in a couple of real quality players to help the group, that's all we ask for."

When asked whether the club are "ready" to secure any transfer targets early in the window, Eustace said: "I hope so. That's why we're in the game. We want to be successful, we want to keep building.

"The sooner we can bring quality to the group, the better for everyone."

Eustace added that Blackburn "don't want to bring lots of players in now" but rather additions that will lift the level of the squad.

"All of us just want one or two real good quality, top players to come in and really help the group," he added.
