Newcastle boss Pardew keen to take chance on Villa's Bent

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is chasing Aston Villa striker Darren Bent.

The Mirror says Pardew is looking at the experienced marksman as he puts a new forward line together.

Loic Remy is going back to QPR after a season on loan and neither Papiss Cisse nor loanee Luuk de Jong have demonstrated they are the long-term answer.

Pardew wants to spend big on a striker, but may swoop for Bent in a cheap deal to provide competition and cover.
