Aston Villa claim Darren Bent is not close to Newcastle switch
ASTON VILLA deny Newcastle have made a bid for Darren Bent.
A club spokesman said last night there are no talks between Villa and Newcastle for the striker, who is available at £6m.
Joe Kinnear, Newcastle’s director of football, is under pressure to make signings, but the only offer Villa have had for Bent is from Fulham for £4m.
That was turned down and there has been no revised bid from them.
