Blackburn Rovers striker Roque Santa Cruz has again spoken of his interest in leaving Ewood Park to join Manchester City.

The 27-year-old Paraguay international, who is currently sidelined with a shin injury, has been linked with a switch to the Citizens for several weeks and seems keen to try his luck at Eastlands.

He told the radio station 970: "Rumours are growing every day.

"t seems that the circumstances needed for me to be transferred are going in a good direction, but everything is a rumour until now.

"It is forbidden (in England) to talk with the clubs directly so I do not know a lot about it. I know that they are going to make a proposal, but I do not know the terms.

"Now it is a matter of time, we will see. The important thing, at the end, is that Blackburn and I are happy.

"There is a long way ahead until the market closes and I am fully committed with Blackburn and I will continue working with joy here."
