Tottenham are demanding a
massive £18 million for striker Darren Bent.
The Mirror says Sunderland boss Steve Bruce wants to make the
striker his first signing at The Stadium of Light.
But Levy’s huge valuation is putting him off and also making
life difficult for Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp, who needs the
sale before he can buy new talent of his own.
Sunderland will try to make Tottenham drop the fee in further
talks, but Levy is a notoriously tough negotiator and the stand-off
may continue for a long time to come.
