Charlton striker Darren Bent rejected a move to West Ham yesterday because he doesn't want to work with his former manager Alan Curbishley, it has been revealed.
And Bent even insisted he would rather play in the Championship than move to Upton Park.
The England star was expected to sign for the Hammers today on a five-year contract worth an incredible £75,000 a week.
Bent spent yesterday in talks with Hammers chairman Eggert Magnusson. The Addicks were to receive £16m plus £1m-rated midfield ace Hayden Mullins.
But Bent stalled last night. And, while he is believed to be willing to play for both Liverpool and Spurs, he would still be prepared to turn out at The Valley next term.
