Arsenal fan Darren Bent admits choosing Tottenham Hotspur over West Ham United in 2007 was ‘easy’
Darren Bent admitted it was easy to reject West Ham United for Tottenham Hotspur, despite being an Arsenal fan.In 2007 after relegation to the Championship with Charlton Athletic, the striker was seemingly on his way to Upton Park after the Addicks accepted a bid for their star asset.2

Darren Bent left Charlton for Tottenham for a club-record 16.5million in 2007

However, Bent instead went to rivals Tottenham Hotspur for a club-record fee of 16.5milion in June 2007.Speaking on Goals on Sunday, the former England international revealed he felt Spurs were in a better place than the Hammers at the time.He said: I was kind of torn at the time because I was going to West Ham funnily enough.I had been to meet Alan Curbishely, come back from holiday. Obviously I knew Alan Curbishley really well after he had taken me from Ipswich to Charlton.2

But obviously I ended up going to Spurs because I felt Spurs were going in the right direction, theyd finished fifth.I was competing with some top strikers there; Berbatov, Defoe and Keane.Although he scored 25 goals in 79 appearances for the north Londoners, Bent was sold to Sunderland in 2009.And, despite his childhood allegiances to rivals Arsenal, the former Ipswich and Derby striker admitted he did not have any regrets following his two years at White Hart Lane. No, not really because Spurs are a massive club, he added. Yeah I was an Arsenal fan, but youre talking about yor career and playing for a massive football club.At the end, the decision was pretty easy to be fair and for my own development I wanted to go there and develop and compete with them kind of guys.Keane, Berbatov and Defoe it doesnt get much better than that.
