Tottenham have confirmed they have reached an agreement with Blackburn for England winger David Bentley.

The North London club have been in discussions with their Lancashire counterparts over a deal for the talented 23-year-old.

Bentley spoke at the close of last season of a desire to ply his trade elsewhere and it now looks as though he is heading for the capital.

The two clubs have been engaged in talks on Wednesday and an agreement has now been thrashed out.

It has been anticipated that Bentley could undergo a medical at White Hart Lane on Thursday providing personal terms can be agreed.
