Paul Ince has batted away fresh speculation concerning the future of David Bentley, who has once again been linked with moves to Tottenham, Aston Villa and Liverpool.

“There has been interest in David and why shouldn’t there be, because he’s a fantastic player,” said Ince.

“But I made my position clear to David when I spoke to him last week.

“He came back for training on Monday and was smiling, and his attitude has been excellent ever since.

“Obviously, it looks as though we are going to have to deal with lots of speculation, because you can’t pick up a paper at the moment without seeing David linked with one club or another.

“But I can deal with that, the chairman can deal with that, and, by the looks of things, David Bentley can deal with that too.

“To be honest, I’m already fed up talking about it because David is only one player in our squad.”
