Tottenham winger David Bentley won't rule out signing permanently for FC Rostov.

Bentley's first target is to get back into regular first-team football after missing most of last season due to a serious knee operation while on loan at West Ham.

But the 28-year-old would also consider staying with Rostov beyond the end of his loan if he likes the time he spends away from Spurs.

"Long-term, we will see what happens," Bentley, a £15million July 2008 signing from Blackburn during the Spurs reign of Juande Ramos, told Sky Sports News.

"I am going there to hopefully enjoy my football. If things work out, then we will see what happens from there."
