Ramos reassures Bent

Juande Ramos has given Darren Bent the vote of confidence at Tottenham after rumours linking the English striker with a move to West Ham began to circulate. Bent may also find his role at Tottenham more important now Berbatov has been linked with a move elsewhere.

The Spaniard said: "Bent and the other 20-odd players are of course part of my plans. He was injured against Reading and couldn't play. When he's fit, he will play."

Berbatov may leave Tottenham this January leaving Tottenham with Bent, Defoe and Robbie Keane up front.

West Ham were reportedly ready to offer Spurs £10 million at a cut-price to bring Bent to Upton Park.
