Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce is tipped to replace Roque Santa Cruz with Chelsea striker Franco Di Santo on a season-long loan deal.

Paraguay ace Santa Cruz underwent a medical at Man City on Monday ahead of a proposed £18M switch but Rovers appear to have a plan to sign another hitman.

Argentine Di Santo, 20, has struggled for first-team football at Stamford Bridge since arriving from Audax Italiano in 2008.

Di Santo is an Argentina Under-20 international but has made just eight appearances for the Blues - all off the bench.
