Liverpool target not for sale

Mark Hughes has stated that he has no interest of selling David Bentley. Bentley has attracted interest from numerous clubs around the Premiership, but it seems as if Chelsea and Liverpool have the funds to buy him from Blackburn.

Despite all the interest from other clubs, Hughes is confident of keeping his prized asset at Ewood Park.

“We don’t have to sell David Bentley and we aren’t looking to sell him,” said Hughes.

“The speculation happens every year with our better players, but if you look back, not many have ultimately been allowed to go.

“That’s because we know we will be weakened as a consequence, so we are not looking to sell any of our major players and I don’t expect it to happen.

“David Bentley has a good contract here and there is good length on that contract, so we don’t have to sell.”
