Aston Villa are ready to bid for Tottenham winger David Bentley.

The Daily Star says Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill is said to be planning a move for Tottenham flop David Bentley.

Villa are looking to strengthen their side ahead of next season, and Bentley is said to be top of the list.

However, O'Neill could be forced to include Ashley Young in the deal, in a bid to bag the winger.

Harry Redknapp is said to be a big fan of the Villa star and he would favour the deal to bring Young to White Hart Lane.
