Bent sorry for Levy blast
Tottenham striker Darren Bent has apologised for making 'inappropriate comments' about chairman Daniel Levy.
The striker accused Levy of holding up his proposed move to Sunderland in a post on Twitter but has now reflected on his remarks.
Having been pulled off the plane ahead of Tottenham's trip to China on Monday, Bent accepts that a deal may take some time to be finalised.
"I appreciate that transfers are seldom straightforward and are often complex," Bent said in a statement on the club's official website.
"However, after a long period of waiting following my withdrawal from the plane to China, I had become incredibly frustrated by the time these things take and I posted inappropriate comments on my Twitter site."
Spurs manager Harry Redknapp had earlier defended Levy, saying that he would always back the chairman's judgement over such matters.
"I haven't seen a paper so I don't know what has happened," he said after watching Tottenham beat Hull City 3-0 in the Premier League Asia Trophy.
"I don't deal with that side of it. At the end of the day the club and the chairman have negotiated a deal and he (Levy) knows what he wants and if he doesn't get it then he doesn't accept the offer.
"It is up to whoever wants to buy him to pay what the club wants and if they don't then there is no deal. That's football."
