The last time Bentley was at Ewood, Sam wasn’t in charge but he knew what an impact he had on Blackburn Rovers.
Bentley was just getting a foothold in the England squad when he was last at Ewood, but a move to Tottenham that eventually turned sour left the midfielder out in the cold.
Now Harry Redknapp is said to be willing to let the player go out on loan, but as well as Rovers, Aston Villa, Fulham, Sunderland, Birmingham, Everton and Galatasaray are also interested.
