Highly-rated Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz has played down speculation he is seeking a move away from Ewood Park.Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing the Paraguay international who scored 23 goals last season.
However, after spending the past month in his homeland, Santa Cruz revealed he is ready to return to England and continue his Blackburn career.
He told Paravision TV station: "A lot of people said my transfer to a bigger club was about to happen, but I live in the present and I'm focused on Blackburn.
"I'm happy for the good season that I had and the important goals that I scored.
"I am motivated by the other teams' interest, but if I am not transferred then I want to have the best possible season at Blackburn."

Roque will stay at Blackburn. Berbatov to Man U, Obefemi Martins to Arsenal the only possibility is Man City but thats only if they dont get Ronaldinho.
19 premiership goals in your first season isn't a bad return. I wonder if Evon and Shin have actually watched him play.
hes only had 1 good season all his career (the rest being hardly any goals); i think it's not worth any team buying him. unless the price is below 10m.
Tbh he will only be backup at either man utd or arsenal.
Totally different style of player to Berbatov..............but gives 100% every game and scores 20+ in the Premiership.
u wanna lern how da spel proply u dumas
he dun seem beta den berba. othrwise man utd wld hv get him frm bayern.
