Bent relieved by Black Cats deal

DARREN BENT was last night breathing a sigh of relief after ending weeks of frustration by completing a £10 million (€11.8m) move to Sunderland from Tottenham.

The club-record fee could yet rise to £16.5m (€19.5m) over the four years of the contract Bent has signed with the Black Cats.

Such a figure would see Spurs recoup the money they paid Charlton two years ago for the services of the four-times capped England striker.
