Bentley has told his new manager at Blackburn, Paul Ince, that he wants to quit the club after three seasons at Ewood Park, although Rovers are determined to get the highest price possible for the England midfielder.

Capital return: David Bentley

Ramos wants to increase his options on the flank and Bentley believes he could even do a job for the club on the left-hand side.

Bentley's former manager, Mark Hughes, is unlikely to join the chase because he knows the player prefers a move back to the capital, where he started his career with Arsenal.

Tottenham will recoup some of the fee by offloading England goalkeeper Paul Robinson, whose situation is being monitored by Villa manager Martin O'Neill, who now seems likely to lose out on Bentley.
