2010 FIFA World Cup -New Zealand VS Slovakia, Winston Reid (Getty Images)

FC Midtjylland defender Winston Reid hopes his performances at World Cup 2010 have caught the eye of the Premier League managers.

The 21-year-old starred in New Zealand’s unbeaten campaign in South Africa, scoring a dramatic last-minute equaliser in their opening match against Slovakia.

Blackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce is believed to be weighing up a move for the versatile defender, who would link up with All Whites teammate Ryan Nelsen at Ewood Park, should a move materialise.

The former Danish Under-21 international, who was born in New Zealand admits he chose to represent the country of his birth at the World Cup so he could prove his quality ahead of a potential move away from Midtjylland.

"One of the reasons I decided to represent New Zealand at the World Cup was to attract more attention," Reid told bt.dk.

"I feel ready to try something else than FC Midtjylland."
