The Paraguay international striker has had a spectacular first season in England following his £3.8million move from Bayern Munich last summer.

The 26-year-old has scored 23 goals, which has seen him linked with a big-money summer move to one of the top-flight's big hitters.

But Santa Cruz has assured Rovers fans he is more than happy with life at Ewood Park.

"The team wants to become better and I can identify myself with that, and people who want to become better - that is how I think," Santa Cruz told Sky Sports News.

"I have three-years more contract, and I am settled and happy where I am and I think our team can become stronger, I am happy and so there is nothing to think of."

Santa Cruz has been dogged by injury during his career and he admits he is delighted to have gone through the whole campaign with Blackburn without any problems.

"I am surprised I have scored that many goals - I have never played a whole season completely and I didn't expect it," he said.

"Things have been good for me because I am getting support from my manager and supporters."

"I can see him playing for Manchester United next season...for MANY reasons....Manchester United are interested in him.....he gets to play Champions League football....his ex teammate Owen Hargreaves is one of his closest buddies & he could persuade him to move ....and he did say that if he does move...he wants to stay in England & also the fact that Blackburn donot have to financial power to hold on to their players....if a big offer comes...they could let him go !!!!"

"Well, if your a threat in the air, and you have bentley and perdersen throwing balls in your general direction then your probably gonna enjoy yourself. It is paramount that blackburn do all they can to keep hold of key players....as soon as one goes, more will follow!"

Hillsman (Blackburn Rovers fan)

"Nice to hear these positive comments from Santa - when a player is happy, he is less likely to move. He was a rep for being injury prone, yet he has been fit for pretty much the whole season. Why risk disrupting such harmony by moving to a top 4 club and playing less football?!"
