Champions League semi-final adversaries Chelsea and Liverpool are reportedly in competition for England winger David Bentley.
£15 million-rated Blackburn Rovers winger David Bentley is likely to be the subject of a tug-of-war between Champions League and Premier League rivals Chelsea and Liverpool.
According to The Times, Bentley has attracted attention from several leading clubs, including Newcastle United, but Chelsea are thought to be best placed for the ex-Arsenal man's signature, having the financial resources to out-bid their rivals should they choose to follow up their initial interest.
Chelsea would not be deterred by Blackburn's £15 million valuation and could treble the player's wages to £60,000 a week.
Matching that could be a problem for Liverpool, given their budgetary restraints and the current uncertainty surrounding the club's ownership.
