Bent turns down Hammers move

Darren Bent has turned down a move to West Ham. It would be intruguing to know why: perhaps he was not that enthused about a reunion with Curbs?

Addicks supremo Peter Varney commented, 'We therefore look forward to Darren starting with us in the Championship next season, which is a massive boost to our chance of returning to the Premier League.'

Perhaps. But Spurs may now revive their interest, but offering less cash than West Ham.
