Man Utd and Liverpool to do battle for £12 million striker
Manchester United and Liverpool are set to do battle for Blackburn Rovers striker Roque Santa Cruz come the opening of the summer transfer window. (various)
The former Bayern Munich man has been an instant success in the Premier League since signing for Rovers last summer for a fee in the region of £3-4 million.
Santa Cruz, 26, has scored just under 20 goals for Rovers this season and has caught the attention of both Rafa Benitez and Sir Alex Ferguson. It is believed both will make bids in the region of £12 million.
I feel Santa Cruz has the capability to play for either of the sides in question. Santa Cruz has played European football for Bayern, which is a bonus and he also has a terrific international record for Paraguay, scoring just under 20 goals in 57 appearances.
