Tottenham striker Darren Bent says he wants to stay at White Hart Lane.

When asked if he expects to be at the club next season, Bent replied: "Definitely. I have not even been here for a whole season so I shouldn't be thinking about it.

"If I was two or three years down the line and I was still not playing I would have to think about it.

"There has been a lot of speculation saying I want to leave, but I know I want to be here. Anyone who knows me will know how frustrated I have been. All I want to do is play games.

"But I need to bide my time. The front two are playing fantastically well at the moment. As a partnership, Berba and Keano have already got 40 goals between them.

"It is always going to be difficult to dislodge them, but I know what I need to do and as long as I am part of a good team like Spurs I am happy. It was nice to get on and score a goal but the most important thing was the result."
