Blackburn Rovers, 09:45, December 31, 2008
Unsettled Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz has paved the way for a move to Manchester City by declaring he wants to stay in England.
The Paraguay international's future has been up in the air for several weeks after he failed to make a long-term commitment to Rovers and he has been heavily linked with a big-money switch to Manchester City when the transfer window opens tomorrow.And the 27-year-old, who was linked with Real Madrid last week, appears to have his heart set on a move to another Premier League side after confirming there had been enquiries for him from other clubs.
He told Radio Primero de Mayo: "I would like to stay in England. I like this league. It is one of the most competitive in the world.
"But I have nothing to do with the offers. They are made to the club and the directors deal with them and make a decision."
Santa Cruz is currently out of action through injury but is expected to be fit by the middle of January.
