Newly-appointed Blackburn Rovers boss Paul Ince has stressed that he does not want to see the best players leave Ewood Park this summer amidst reports that midfielder David Bentley and forward Roque Santa Cruz are being chased by several clubs.
Ince, who succeeded Mark Hughes in the hot-seat after the Welshman went to Manchester City, revealed that he will be speaking to Bentley, who is linked with Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City; and Santa Cruz, who is said to be interesting Arsenal and Man United after a stunning first season.
He told the Lancashire Telegraph: "Any manager starting his first year in the Premier League wants to keep his best players, so I'll be speaking to Bentley and Santa Cruz, and indeed all of my players, and then we'll go from there.
"It's hard to form an opinion until you've spoken to the players directly, but of course I want to do well this season, and I want to start off well at Blackburn, not just for myself but for the people who have stuck by me, and for the fans. And getting rid of your best players is not the best way to go about that."
