Barca star Bojan rejects Spurs or Blackburn move (even though he loves Premier League)

26 May 2009 17:53
Barcelona starlet Bojan admits he is a fan of the Barclays Premier League but insists he has no intention of joining Blackburn or Tottenham. Rovers have been linked with a cheeky loan move for the 18-year-old Spain international, who has struggled to break the Nou Camp trident of Samuel Eto'o, Lionel Messi and Thierry Henry in his second pro season. However, Bojan insists he would rather fight for his place at the Champions League finalists than try his hand in England. 'Blackburn? No, that is not part of my plans,' he told Setanta.com. 'Departing from Barcelona on loan is not what I want. Tottenham have also been linked to the forward, who is set to start on the bench when his team face Manchester United in Rome's Olympic Stadium tonight. 'I must say that I am a Premier League fan and I try to watch as many games as possible because the way they play football is entertaining, but I am happy in Barcelona and do not want to move,' he said. 'There are many English teams that I like watching, but I do not support one in particular.' Bojan's buy-out clause - mandatory under Spanish League rules - is understood to be a staggering 80million euros (£71m). He scored 11 goals last season but has been restricted to appearances mainly off the bench or in the Spanish Cup this time around.
