According to a report by Sky Sports, Arsenal submitted a bid of approximately £50,000 for Wolves player Bentley. However, Wolves are holding out for a larger sum as Bentley only has one year left on his contract, which could potentially lead them to reconsider their valuation.
Bentley, who spent seven years in Arsenal’s youth academy from 2001 to 2008 before moving to Southend United, has been a key player for various teams such as Brentford, Bristol City, and now Wolves. He has earned multiple individual awards, showcasing his scoring abilities. Bentley was named Player of the Year at Southend and Bristol in 2014/15 and 2020/21 respectively, and was also part of the League Two PFA Team of the Year in 2014/15.
In other news, Arsenal is in talks for the potential sale of their ‘Bombastic’ player to a Serie A club, as they look to strengthen their midfield. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing transfer saga.
