According to the Daily Star, Aston Villa striker Darren Bent could be set for a move to Newcastle. Newcastle’s new director of football Joe Kinnear has identified Bent as one of the Magpies biggest transfer targets this summer.
Bent fell out of favour at Villa Park when Paul Lambert arrived from Norwich last summer and refused to play the England striker. Bent struggled to get into the Villa team and was expected to move on last January.
However, a move did not materialise and he is now expected to leave Villa Park this summer. Newcastle have identified the need for new strikers for next season and it seems Bent could be one those.
