Jan 31, 2011, 21:02 GMT
London - Blackburn signed Argentinian midfielder Mauro Formica on a three-and-a-half-year deal on Monday.
The 22-year-old arrives from Newell's Old Boys for an undisclosed fee and is Blackburn's fourth signing of the transfer window.
'Mauro is a fantastic talent, an attacking player who has been in great demand,' manager Steve Kean said on the club website.
'He has great technical ability and is a typical Argentinian with a bit of fight and a bit of devilment in him.'
Earlier in the day, Rovers signed striker Ruben Rochina from Barcelona's B side.
Roque Santa Cruz and Jermaine Jones have also joined the club in the past month.
