Bristol Rovers are in the market for a new goalkeeper in this transfer window with Brentford’s Ellery Balcombe under consideration and a decision on his immediate future expected in the next 48 hours.
Football League World have reported that Premier League Brentford are considering recalling Balcombe from his promising loan at League Two Crawley Town and sending him elsewhere in the EFL, most likely at League One level with Rovers an interested club should they wish to pursue their interest.
Bristol Live understands that Balcombe is on Rovers’ radar, as are other goalkeepers, and while in with a strong chance of signing him, the Bees’ decision will ultimately be shaped by the amount of football the 23-year-old is likely to play over the next five months, rather than the higher level he’ll be operating at.
