Bent stakes his claim at Spurs

Tottenham striker Darren Bent insists he is ready to fill the void left by Robbie Keane – and assistant boss Gus Poyet has urged him to seize his chance.

Keane has left for Liverpool in a deal worth £20.3m and Dimitar Berbatov could follow before the start of the Premier League campaign, leaving Tottenham looking short on reliable firepower.
