League One MK Dons make eyes for Tottenham's Bentley

MK Dons boss Karl Robinson will attempt to bring Tottenham winger David Bentley to Stadium MK. The 27-year-old England international, has not played for Spurs since November 2010 and was on-loan at West Ham earlier this season.

"David is a friend of mine. He needs to play football," Robinson told BBC Look East. "He would be perfect for us.

"He knows where I am. We are only 40 minutes from where he lives and we both have the same agent."

Bentley has found first-team opportunities in short supply at White Hart Lane over the last two campaigns.

"You've got to be realistic. It might be something we can pull off and I'll definitely ask the question should it come up.

"We've not approached or spoken to Tottenham," added Robinson.

"I worked with him at Blackburn and we've always stayed in touch.

"He's someone I respect immensely and someone I know has got an amazing gift.

"If he ends up playing at this club we'll be very fortunate but that's a long way away.

"You've got to be realistic. It might be something we can pull off and I'll definitely ask the question should it come up."
