Exclusive: Blackburn Rovers forward Joe Boggan wanted by five clubs
Blackburn Rovers teenage sensation Joe Boggan has strong interest from Stuttgart, Hamburg, Freiburg, AZ Alkmaar and FC Twente, sources have told Football Insider.
The 17-year-old forward has been in a rich vein of form in recent weeks, scoring five goals in four starts for Rovers’ Under-21 side.
Boggan is highly-regarded by Blackburn having signed his first professional deal last May.
The teenager’s predatory finishing in front of goal and clever movement has brought him onto the radar of German trio Stuttgart, Hamburg and Freiburg – as well as Dutch sides AZ Alkmaar and FC Twente.

He has made 16 appearances for the Under-18 and Under-21 sides this term, scoring 12 goals and contributing three assists.
Boggan’s professional deal runs until June 2026 after his arrival at Ewood Park as a scholar in 2023.
