Tottenham have today been linked with a move for Blackburn star David Bentley. The former Arsenal youngster has impressed immensely this season and he is in many people's eyes, David Beckham's replacement in the England national team.Bentley joined Blackburn two years ago after deciding to leave Arsenal due to the lack of first team football. Since joining Blackburn he has scored 11 times in 66 games for the club and has helped them qualify for the UEFA Cup in the last two seasons.
I think Bentley would be better off staying at Blackburn. Blackburn have shown so far this season that they are a far better side than Spurs and I feel if he were to move to the Londoners now it would be a step down in his career.
If Tottenham are to bid for Bentley I would feel they would have to cough up at least £12 million for the wide man. It would be a huge profit for Blackburn who signed the player for virtually nothing, but I'm sure Mark Hughes would reject any approach from Juande Ramos.
