Harry expects Bentley interest

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp concedes David Bentley could attract bids from rival clubs in the summer.[LNB] After his failure to live up to expectations in his debut season at White Hart Lane, it has been speculated the midfielder faces an uncertain future in the capital.[LNB]The big money summer capture from Blackburn was expected to be a big success in North London, having established himself as a key player at Ewood Park and broken into the England squad.[LNB]It has not worked out that way though, as Bentley has struggled to capture anything like his best form under first Juande Ramos - who signed him - and now Redknapp, who has preferred in-form Aaron Lennon down his right flank.[LNB]Redknapp acknowledges Bentley's frustration at playing second fiddle and accepts his current predicament could entice interest from elsewhere.[LNB]"Teams know what he can do and it is a possibility," he said.[LNB]FrustratingLuka Modric has also impressed on the left so Bentley will probably be on the bench this weekend when he returns to Blackburn, who he left last summer.[LNB]Redknapp added: "It's hard for David. Aaron has been in great form. You hope that Aaron keeps playing well and the team keeps winning and I don't have to change it, I've got to be truthful.[LNB]"Modric has played fantastic for me on the left. I certainly wouldn't be leaving Luka out of my team, that is for sure.[LNB]"It's difficult but it is a nice problem when the team is playing so well and winning. I couldn't even contemplate changing it."[LNB]
