Tottenham Hotspur's England striker Darren Bent has admitted that he may consider leaving White Hart Lane to maintain his international standing.

The 25-year-old has scored 16 goals this season, but has often been forced to settle for a place on the bench, with competition for places increased by the returns to the club of both Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane.

Bent said: "No-one likes to sit on the bench. I'll have to see what happens and take it from there.

"My season has been up and down. The end of the season is coming and we'll have to see what happens after that.

"I'd have liked to have played more games and scored more goals. The manager has got decisions to make. He's got fantastic strikers and you have to bide your time.

"However, if you don't play for your club regularly, you won't play for England. As long as I can keep working hard and scoring goals, hopefully I'll be in there."
