Left out in the dark
at Tottenham
Hotspur,
winger David Bentley could be set
to re-light his career at
Liverpool, according to The
Metro.
Roy Hodgson has reportedly indicated that he would be keen to bring
the player to Anfield during the January transfer window, if a fee
in the region of £5 million can be agreed.
The 26-year-old has been frozen out at Tottenham Hotspur under
manager Harry Redknapp and Bentley believes this is the perfect
opportunity to get his football career back on track.
The winger was tipped to be an England star after securing an £18m
move to Spurs from Blackburn Rovers in 2008. But injury and a lack
of form has put pay to these notions and Bentley has only shown
brief glimpses to merit such price tag.
This has meant he has fallen down the pecking order at White Hart
Lane, behind stars such as Luca Modric and Rafael van der
Vaart.
However, Hodgson is to give him another chance and is willing to
buy him for nearly a quarter of the fee Spurs paid. The Reds boss
has revealed that he is desperate to land a tricky winger and
Bentley represents value for money at that
price.
