Darren Bent wanted by Liverpool

iverpool are interested in a deal for Aston Villa striker Darren Bent. The England international came off the bench to play a pivotal role in Villa's 3-1 win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday setting up Stilian Petrov for the second goal before scoring the decisive third himself. However, he has grown unsettled at Villa following a summer of change and a succession of niggly injuries. He expressed his frustration at the lack of service he was getting from his team-mates and incurred the wrath of fans by missing Villa's 2-0 home defeat against Liverpool, opting to go Christmas shopping instead.
