'It’s a strange one' - Ex Spurs forward hits out at Danny Rose situation

Former Tottenham Hotspur forward Darren Bent has questioned why the club are so keen to offload Danny Rose.

Rose has been continually linked with a move away from White Hart Lane this summer, despite ending last season as the club's first choice left-back ahead of Ben Davies.

And Bent, who made 60 appearances in a three-year spell in north London, believes Spurs should be doing all they can to keep hold of the 29-year-old.

“Tottenham should be 100 per cent keeping Danny Rose,” the former England international told Football Insider.

“He is the best left-back in this country when he is fully fit.

“There appears to be a breakdown in relations between him and the club. I don’t understand why they are not trying to keep him.

“It’s a strange one. There’s still question marks over Rose, Christian Eriksen and Toby Alderweireld, but Tottenham should be keeping all of them.”
