JUANDE RAMOS is considering £15million bid for Blackburn Rovers star David Bentley, according to reports in The Sun.

The former Arsenal midfielder has been linked with a move away from Ewood Park after rejecting an improved offer from the club, and Ramos may swoop for the England international.

Bentley has three years left on his current contract with Blackburn, but the club's failure to qualify for Europe could prove to be a major factor, as Spurs can offer UEFA Cup action as they qualified by winning the Carling Cup.

Bentley's arrival at White Hart Lane would almost certainly spell the end for Aaron Lennon, whose future at the club is already cast in doubt as Ramos seeks to overhaul his playing staff before the start of the new campaign.
