Tottenham's Darren Bent could make way for Roque Santa Cruz
The Paraguayan was close to leaving Ewood Park in January but Manchester City refused to meet Blackburn's £20 million valuation. But Sam Allardyce, the Blackburn manager, could be interested in a swap deal if Spurs make a move. [LNB]Though Bent has scored 17 goals this season, Redknapp has not always been convinced by the striker and if he decides to keep faith with Roman Pavlyuchenko, Bent may have to leave to make way for a fourth striker.

[LNB]Pavlyuchenko, meanwhile, has been happy with his first season in England. "When I was leaving for Tottenham I did not quite know what would happen,' said the Russian. [LNB]"I could not imagine I would score 14 goals. I set a target of 15, which I have not reached yet but there are two matches left. [LNB]"This is not a bad result because the first year is usually about adaptation to a new country and new football. I have already done good for the team. My thoughts are more optimistic than a year ago because I did not know if my family and especially my daughter would be able to adapt. Now I see there are no problems and I can focus fully on football. [LNB]"Football in London cannot fail to surprise you. Where else can both Champions League semi-finals take place? [LNB]"When you come out onto a perfect field, surrounded by full stands, I cannot express my emotions with words. Every match is like a festival. I feel like a real footballer." [LNB]
