Wolves keeper Bentley targets more Prem action

Wolves recent signing Dan Bentley insists he still has a lot to prove at the Premier League club.

Bentley arrived in January from Bristol City and played only two Premier League games last term.

The shot stopper has a point to prove as he works on getting regular game time this season.

"I came here with a point to prove and I still have that point to prove," Bentley said, per the Express and Star.

"I work every day to play, I don't work to put pressure on other people or make up numbers, I'm here to prove myself.

"I have the bit between my teeth and having a taste of Premier League football last year only made me hungrier.

"I will endeavor to work harder than ever and be better than ever, to force my way in as much as possible into the manager's thinking, for hopefully when he decides I'm in the team, that it's my shirt to keep.

"I have a lot of respect for Sa. We get on very well and I've spent time with him away from football as well.

"I have maximum respect and admiration for him and the job he's done since he's been here.

"But I'm sure he'd say the same, he wants to keep the shirt and he doesn't want me to get it.

"That's the healthy competition we have. We get on well but we push each other every single day and we all want that number one shirt."
