Blackburn Rovers have signed Sierra Leone forward Augustus Kargbo from Italian side Cesena for an undisclosed fee.

The 25-year-old - who has won 21 caps for his country - has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract.

He helped Cesena win promotion to Serie B - Italy's second tier - last season having previously had spells at Campobasso and Crotone as well as loans at Roccella and Reggiana.

Kargbo scored three goals in 18 appearances for the Serie B side this season - all coming in the opening nine games of the season.
