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."

I see him as a new Berbatov he is fast skillfull holds the ball up and a great finisher aswell as being strong and intelligent. He probably will stay at Rovers and Join an Arsenal,Man U or Chesea in 09/10 season for now he is worth about £15m but if he keeps this form going Rovers have themselves some good money
