Bentley to leave after Redknapp row

Reports today suggest that David Bentley is set to leave the club in January after falling out with Harry Redknapp.

Bentley has struggled to live up to his £15million price-tag since joining in the summer of 2008 and has long been mooted for a transfer away from White Hart Lane.

However, his performance in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Grays Athletic has apparently infuriated his manager and caused a confrontation between the two.

The Daily Express reports, “Bentley was taking the mickey the whole game, just back-heeling or toe-punting the ball whenever it came to him.

“Harry asked Bentley what he was doing and they had a big verbal ruck, then Redknapp told him he was getting rid of him in January.”
