Liverpool are plotting a bid for Blackburn winger David Bentley this Summer according to reports in The People today.
The former Arsenal star made his move to Ewood Park permanent in 2006 after spending a year on loan with Mark Hughes' side. After being on the fringes of the Arsenal side, his move to Blackburn has not only provided the 23 year old with regular first team football but has also, in my opinion virtually cemented his place at right midfield in the England side.
His stunning domestic performances this season have also led to the former Norwich star being linked with all of the top 5 clubs. Rafa Benitez is reportedly ready to make a £12 million move for Bentley in the hope of sorting out Liverpool's long term problem on the wings.
I personally think that he would be a very welcome introduction to the Liverpool side but players like Riise, Carson and Pennant will have to be sold in order to provide funds for the £12 million splurge.
