David Bentley has revealed that he has been given a "clean slate" by new Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas.
The winger has so far failed to hold down a regular slot in the Spurs starting lineup since signing on at White Hart Lane in 2008.
However, the 27-year-old has insisted that he is hoping for a change of fortunes under a new boss.
"With the new manager, the new era, the new training ground, hopefully I can be a new player, with a new attitude and a new way of doing things," Bentley told The People.
"I've already spoken to the manager and he just said, 'You've got a clean slate, so do what you can do and try to impress.
"This is a chance for me to get back on the good wave now and, if I can be a part of it, that'd be great."
Bentley had a six-month spell on loan with West Ham United last season.
