Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce has resolved his issues with Roque Santa Cruz and has told the striker he wants him to keep him at the club.
The Paraguay international gave an interview on the eve of Allardyce's first match in charge in which he said if a "better or an ambitious club" came in for him he would like to join them.
Santa Cruz missed Saturday's 3-0 victory at home to Stoke with a calf injury - likely to keep him out of the Boxing Day trip to Sunderland - but Allardyce said at the time he would deal with the player in due course.
Having spoken with Santa Cruz, the Rovers boss is now happy the situation has been resolved.
"We've had the discussion and I just said the timing I thought was very poor," said Allardyce.
"He should have not done that interview. It was not certainly set up by this football club, which was disappointing.
"Obviously I felt it was slightly sinister, the timing of it, but we have resolved that and I have told him I don't want him to leave and that is probably the end of it."
