Blackburn boss Allardyce delighted with deal for Chelsea's Di Santo
Blackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce is delighted with the loan signing of Chelsea striker Franco Di Santo.
He told Radio Rovers: "I liked what I saw, I think we've got an eager young man to come and play in the Premier League and we've got Chelsea to thank for that.
"Discussions started last May when we played them away, that is how long ago it started, that is how long it has took to sort it out.
"Thankfully Chelsea have stuck to their word, there were a lot of other clubs showed an interest but they gave us the opportunity.
"They want him to play in the Premier League and we can give him that chance and hopefully he'll be a great success with us and that would be really good business from our point of view and also good development for Chelsea."
