Santa Cruz to replace Berbatov
July 14, 2008 by Kerron
With the eminent departure of Tottenham Hotspurs’ Dimitar Berbatov to Manchester United, the club has already chosen their replacement in Blackburn Rovers’ striker Roque Santa Cruz. The Red Devils’ are intent on signing Berbatov in the coming weeks after seeing their initial ₤20million bid rejected.
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson is supposedly prepared to spend around ₤25million for the Bulgarian when he confronts the Spurs again. But with the probable departures of Robbie Keane and Darren Bent, the Spurs are in desperate need of a striker which they found in Santa Cruz.
Tottenham are also said to be interested in Real Zaragoza’s Diego Milito and Ajax’s Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. But Manager Juande Ramos has made the Paraguayan international, who scored 23 goals during his first season in England his primary acquisition following reports that Arsenal and Manchester United are also interested in the striker.
Blackburn’s new manager Paul Ince is adamant in keeping the striker in his first season in charge at Ewood Park. Things could get really interesting, it may be another Cristiano Ronaldo transfer saga.
