Blackburn Rovers hope to bring Manchester City striker Roque Santa Cruz back to Ewood Park.
The Sun says Rovers are weighing up a £4million January move to bring striker Santa Cruz back to Ewood Park.
The Paraguayan has had a miserable spell at Manchester City since his £17million switch in 2009.
And with his family settled in the area, he has told friends he would welcome a return to the East Lancashire club.
Rovers chief Sam Allardyce has made an experienced striker his top priority now he has cash to spend following the takeover by poultry firm Venky's. He knows City are in no hurry to sell but would be willing to listen to offers as Santa Cruz is way down Roberto Mancini's pecking order.
They will be looking for around £4m for the ex-Bayern Munich man.
