Rovers get Bentley

Blackburn have signed Arsenal winger David Bentley on a season-long loan deal. The 21 year old spent last season on loan at eventually relagated Norwich and made 26 appearences and scored 2 goals. Blackburn boss Mark Hughes will be hoping Bently can add a creative spark to his team.


Bentley in action for the Gunners

Bently had a summer transfer request accepted by Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger and West Ham, Crystal Palace and Norwich were all keen to take the England under 21 international to their clubs but now Rovers have got him. FA Premier League rules prohibit the player from appearing against Arsene Wenger's Gunners in a Rovers shirt.

Bently is a good player with bags of ability and I'm sure he will do well at Blackburn. This is a good signing by Rovers boss Mark Hughes because he dosen't have to pay a penny for a good player. Bently could be a big hit with Blackburn, Watch out!
