Tottenham to offload David Bentley as they chase Manchester City's Martin Petrov
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is preparing to make a swoop for Manchester City winger Martin Petrov in a player-plus-cash deal which would see David Bentley move the other way, according to reports.
By Emily Benammar
It is the second time in as many seasons the London-based club will have made a move for the Bulgarian after he rejected a £4.7 million transfer in 2007 when he played for Atletico Madrid.
Snubbing Tottenham, Petrov made the move to Eastlands but his contract expires at the end of next season.

The 30-year-old's value is likely to have dropped significantly following two serious knee injuries this season, which resulted in him only making 14 league and European appearances.
Meanwhile, out-of-favour Bentley, who only arrived at White Hart Lane from Blackburn last summer, has struggled to secure himself a regular starting place under Redknapp.
Aaron Lennon's form is a major factor which has kept him sidelined, and Redknapp has made no secret of late that he expects the 24-year-old to move on.
The club is also being linked with Djibril Cisse after the French striker severed all ties with Sunderland after the last match of the season.
According to the Guardian, Redknapp will consider any offers for Roman Pavlyuchenko and use the money acquired from his departure to secure Cisse's services.
The 27-year-old signed for Sunderland on a season-long loan last summer but the option to make the deal permanent has been rejected by the club which narrowly avoided relegation last weekend.
It is understood that Cisse is eager to remain in the Premier League despite having two more years on his contact at Marseille.
