Blackburn Rovers striker Rudy Gestede hopes to put himself in the Premier League shop window this weekend.
Rovers meet Liverpool in the FA Cup.
"If I can do well against Liverpool I can show Premier League clubs that the speculation was there because I'm a good player and not just because I'm tall and score a few goals with my head.
"It was close with one club but I spoke a lot with the manager and he helped me to stay focused and think about Blackburn.
"Nothing happened so in my mind I never left the club. It was a good chance to play in the Premier League but I wasn't that disappointed."
