David Bentley wanted by Atletico Madrid - exclusive
Published 00:00 02/05/09 By By John Cross
David Bentley is a target for Atletico Madrid, who are ready to rescue him from his Tottenham nightmare.
The Spurs winger has struggled to settle at White Hart Lane after his £15million move from Blackburn last summer.
Bentley, 24, has lost his first-team place and Spurs are ready to cut their losses.
Atletico were among a clutch of clubs vying for his signature before Spurs landed the England international. Atletico are now back in the frame, which would give Bentley regular games to try to win a World Cup place under Fabio Capello.
A big-money move abroad would also appeal to Bentley after a depressing year in North London.
Bentley struggled under former boss Juande Ramos, lost his place in the England set-up and has failed to win a regular place under Harry Redknapp.
Selling Bentley would help Spurs finance their own targets with Sunderland striker Kenwyne Jones and Middlesbrough's Stewart Downing top of the list.
