Aston Villa striker Andi Weimann says its crucial Darren Bent is not sold.
Bent has already pledged his future to Villa and Weimann, who broke into the team at the end of last season, knows how crucial Bent will be under new manager Paul Lambert.
Weimann said: "Darren is our number one striker and it's important for the club he stays fit all season, hopefully gets loads of goals and stays at Villa as well.
"Everyone knows his goal record and to have a fit and fresh Darren Bent will be brilliant going into the start of the season.
"He only needs one chance and he'll stick it away."
