MK Dons boss Karl Robinson is determined to land Tottenham winger David Bentley.
The England winger, 27, has not played for Spurs since November 2010 and was on loan at West Ham earlier this term.
Robinson, 31, said: "David is a friend of mine. He needs to play football and 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.
"But I've got to be realistic. It might be something we can pull off and I'll definitely ask the question should it come up."
