Spurs and Liverpool battle for £12 million midfielder !

Tottenham have joined Liverpool in the race to sign Blackburn winger David Bentley according to reports in The People today.

The England winger joined Blackburn in 2006 from Norwich and his domestic and international career has taken off from there. His electrifying performances in the league have earned the 23 year old a call up to the England first team.

Liverpool were thought to be interested in signing the winger this Summer with a £12 million bid, however Spurs have now come into the equation, supposedly with an offer of £7 million plus Aaron Lennon and Hossam Ghaly.

I personally think a move to either of the above clubs would further Bentley's career and help cement his place at right wing in the England team.
