da 888casino: Some shocking football news from the Premier League broke today, with Sunderland striker Darren Bent handing in a transfer request. This news will come as a huge surprise to Sunderland fans and greatly disappoint them and manager Steve Bruce.
da luck: The news was confirmed on the official Sunderland website, with a statement that said “The club can confirm that it received a written transfer request from Darren Bent following yesterday’s Wear-Tyne derby match.” There is speculation that Bent’s transfer request comes on the back of an £18 million bid from Aston Villa, but is Bent showing a distinct lack of loyalty?

Bent netted 25 times last season, and has added another 11 goals in this campaign, making him Sunderland’s most potent striker.
