Chelski told Bent is available for £18m

Chelsea have been told that they can have Darren Bent for £18m. They have gone away to think about it. One attraction is that he would be available for the Champions League.

Radio 5 asked the rhetorical question, why would Darren Bent want to go to Chelsea? Because it's one of the biggest clubs in the world and he would be paid a fortune, even just to sit on the bench.

If Chelsea come back and offer £13m I would take it, although a lot depends on how long he is likely to be out with his injury.
