Bentley makes loan move to St Andrews

Tottenham midfielder David Bentley has joined Birmingham on a six-month loan. The 26-year-old England international has struggled to settle at White Hart Lane since joining in a £15m transfer in July 2008, making just 62 appearances, with Spurs manager Harry Redknapp preferring Aaron Lennon over his international team-mate.

The right-sided midfielder began his career with Arsenal, also spending time on loan at Norwich and Blackburn. He has won seven caps for England and could make his Blues debut against Aston Villa on Sunday.
