VILLANUEVA HOPING GOAL WILL PROVIDE EUROPEAN MOVE
Carlos Villanueva hopes his winning goal for Blackburn against Blyth Spartans in the FA Cup on Monday will catch the eye of would-be European suitors.
The Chilean midfielder and dead-ball specialist joined the Premier League club in the summer on a season-long loan but has failed to secure a permanent deal.
The 22-year-old has only featured 12 times this season, but he is desperate to remain in Europe when his time in the north west ends.
Villanueva, who is on loan from Chilean club Audax Italiano, said: "I was very happy to get the goal and pleased it was the winner to take Blackburn to the Fourth Round.
"The manager, Sam Allardyce, congratulated me and told me to keep up the good work. This is very positive for me and gives me more morale to continue working hard.
"I know Blackburn have informed my club that they will not buy me at the end of the season, which has dented my confidence.
"But I want to take advantage of the minutes available in the field and show that I can play well in Europe.
"It has been very difficult to do well in the few minutes that Blackburn give me, but I need to show my quality on the pitch.
"I want to continue playing in Europe because I think it would be good for the development of my game."
