Blackburn fans have urged Adam Armstrong to stay with them after a remarkable personal campaign which has helped the side gain promotion to the Championship this season.

The 21-year-old attacking midfielder scored nine goals in 15 league starts - having joined on loan from Newcastle in January - helping the Rovers seal a move upwards, with their 1-0 win over Doncaster on Tuesday confirming their post-season ascent.

An elated Armstrong took to Twitter to celebrate with fans, and of course, they begged him to stay.

PROMOTION BABYYYY! 🍾🍾❤️

The midfielder's performances this year could prompt Rafa Benitez to keep him around next season, yet there will be a few teams looking to take him on permanently if the Spaniard decides against it.
