Roque loving life at Ewood Park

Wed 07 May, 10:30 AM


Roque Santa Cruz insists he is not looking to quit Blackburn this summer, even though his 19 Premier League goals have alerted several clubs.The Paraguay international striker has had a spectacular first season in England following his £3.8million move from Bayern Munich last summer.

The 26-year-old has scored 23 goals, which has seen him linked with a big-money summer move to one of the top-flight's big hitters.

But Santa Cruz has assured Rovers fans he is more than happy with life at Ewood Park.

"The team wants to become better and I can identify myself with that, and people who want to become better - that is how I think," Santa Cruz told Sky Sports News.

"I have three-years more contract, and I am settled and happy where I am and I think our team can become stronger, I am happy and so there is nothing to think of."

Santa Cruz has been dogged by injury during his career and he admits he is delighted to have gone through the whole campaign with Blackburn without any problems.

"I am surprised I have scored that many goals - I have never played a whole season completely and I didn't expect it," he said.

"Things have been good for me because I am getting support from my manager and supporters."
