New Nerazzurri boss Jose Mourinho has lined up a number of
targets from the Premiership, but realizes he will find it
difficult to prize away the likes of Michael Essien and Ashley Cole
from Chelsea, as well as Steven Gerrard from Liverpool.
The chances of Frank Lampard ending up at San Siro are believed to
be much higher, however now another new name from England has
surprisingly entered the frame.
The News of the World claims that Mourinho is ready to splash out
€19m on Blackburn winger David Bentley.
The 23-year-old has impressed in Lancashire since arriving from
Arsenal permanently in 2006, and last season he scored six goals
from 37 Premiership appearances, as well as providing 11
assists.
Bentley has never hidden his desire to move to a bigger club in
order to prove himself at a higher level, and would jump at the
chance of a move to the Italian peninsula. He has won six caps for
England, but a move to Serie A could see him become the regular on
the right hand side of Fabio Capello's midfield.
