Wigan Athletic striker Hugo Rodallega isn't interested in joining the likes of Arsenal or Liverpool.

His star has rocketed since he arrived in England in January 2009 from Necaxa for around £3.5million. And several top sides, including Arsenal, are believed to be monitoring the £10m-rated hitman's progress closely.

But the forward has told his pals he would prefer to go to a club positioned from around sixth-10th in the Premier League, says the Mirror.

Rodallega believes he would then be guaranteed both games and a much better salary to progress his career.

And that is likely to see Aston Villa, Everton, Birmingham, Fulham and Stoke battling it out for his signature this summer.
