Liverpool and Tottenham have been told to up their bids if they want to sign Charlton striker Darren Bent.

Bent rejected West Ham and a five-year contract worth an incredible £75,000 a week yesterday, so opening the door for Spurs and Liverpool to bid for the striker.

Like Liverpool, Spurs are offering Bent £35,000-a- week and guaranteed first-team football.

But Charlton have told both clubs they will only listen to offers of £14m plus extensive add-ons - including goals, appearances and England caps.
