Former Tottenham Hotspur winger David Bentley has emerged as a reported transfer target for Spanish outfit Espanyol and Dutch side FC Utrecht.

The 28-year-old, who is currently a free agent after leaving Spurs at the end of last season, spent the second part of the previous campaign on loan with Blackburn Rovers.

A number of Championship clubs have been linked with his services, but according to Sky Sports News, the former England international favours a move abroad.

Bentley has previously played in Russia with FC Rostov.
