David Bentley In Birmingham Switch

Fee: Loan

WorldwideFootball understand Birmingham City have signed David Bentley on loan from Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur until the end of the season.
The former Blackburn and Arsenal midfielder joined Spurs in July 2008 for a fee of £15m but has since failed to nail down a regular place with the London high-flyers.
Bentley, 26, underwent a medical at Birmingham earlier this week and has now completed his move to the Midlands club.
Provided his registration is accepted by both the Premier League and the Football Association, Bentley will be available for the league derby match against Aston Villa at Birmingham's St Andrew's ground on Sunday.

Bentley will be hoping the move will bring him to the attention of the England manager Fabio Capello and get himself back in the England squad and add to the seven caps he has already won since making his debut against Israel in 2007.


Birmingham fans do you think Bentley is the kind of signing to move you up the table? And Spurs fans, will you be sorry to see him go for the season or glad he's gone ... for now.
