Villanueva happy at Rovers

Carlos Villanueva has reiterated that he would like to stay at Blackburn next season but he is unsure what will happen in the transfer window. The Chile international moved to Ewood Park on loan last summer and is due to return to Audax Italiano at the end of the campaign. He has struggled to hold down a regular starting role under new manager Sam Allardyce but insists he has unfinished business with the club. Villanueva hopes to be given a long-term contract and is confident he could make more of an impact next term. "I want to stay as I feel as though I am learning every day," he explained. "It is very different in England from Chile. The game is quicker and stronger. It takes time to adjust and I feel I would improve next season. "When I arrived in Blackburn I got chickenpox and could not train for three weeks. Now things are better. "This is one of the best leagues in the world and I am enjoying being part of it. "While I would like to be involved in more games, it is okay. I am happy at Blackburn." Villanueva has yet to learn whether he will be kept on and realises the only thing he can do is seize any opportunity that comes along. He added: "I do not know anything about my future but I am not worried about that. "My focus is on the remaining games and trying to help Blackburn if I get the chance. I will always give my best."
