Sunderland Football Club include David Bentley on their list of potential recruits.

The England international has endured a miserable time at Tottenham Hotspur following his £15million move from Blackburn Rovers in the summer of 2008.

Although injury to Aaron Lennon is expected to give him another chance at White Hart Lane, it is widely thought that Harry Redknapp will listen to offers for the former Arsenal youngster.

Reports in The Journal claim Steve Bruce is willing to give Bentley the option of kick-starting his career at the Stadium of Light, just as his old Spurs pal Darren Bent has.
