Blackburn have signed Leeds winger Ian Poveda on a season-long loan deal.

The 21-year-old has made 20 appearances for Marcelo Bielsa's side since he joined them from Manchester City in January 2020.

Liverpool youngster Harvey Elliott enjoyed a successful loan spell with Blackburn last season, which Leeds chief Victor Orta cited for the Poveda decision.

"We've been very impressed with how Blackburn have developed players such as Harvey Elliott at Liverpool," said Orta.

"We hope Ian can get some game time and come back to us next season ready to fight."
