The 20 year old grabbed his first goal in the Premiership for Blackburn against Burnley on Sunday after enjoying regular first team football, while at Chelsea he has only made eight sub appearances in 18 months.

It is expected that Chelsea will recall di Santo back to Stamford Bridge in January as cover for Drogba.

Speaking to the Daily Express di Santo said: "I need to improve and gain experience; I need to play games and score goals. If I got back to Chelsea I will try my best but, if I stay here, I will continue my education.

"It is good for me being at Blackburn. I am very happy to be here because the manager has given me the opportunity to play. That has given me the opportunity to improve and gain experience and I hope to get better and better over the next few games.

"Sam Allardyce is helping me to become a more complete player. I have the ambition to be able to play in every kind of style so, if I have any problems in certain areas, I want to work harder to fit in with that particular way.

"I hope to get back to Chelsea and play. If I go back and don't play, it is less good for me. It depends on the situation.

"One of the main reasons to stay here would be because of the supporters. They seem to love my name I think and that situation gives me more confidence to continue here.

"I feel I have proved I can play in the Premier League by coming here but I need to improve every game. I need more experience and now Blackburn have given me the opportunity to play more games."
