Marcus Bent joins Wolves on loan
Tuesday 31st August 2010, 1:49PM BST.
Birmingham have allowed striker Marcus Bent to join Barclays Premier League rivals Wolves on a four-month loan deal.
Bent, 32, will boost Wolves’ attacking options following the departure of Andy Keogh to Cardiff on a season-long deal.
“Marcus is an experienced striker who has played plenty of Premier League football and scored goals,” said Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey.
“People still talk about whether we’ve got enough Premier League experience, and Marcus will add to that.
“We needed someone after the departure of Andy Keogh.
“Bent has fallen down the pecking order at St Andrew’s following the arrivals of Nikola Zigic and Matt Derbyshire.
He spent parts of last season on loan at Middlesbrough and QPR.
Stoke City are planning a transfer-deadline day swoop for Monaco’s former Chelsea and Barcelona star Eidur Gudjohnsen.
The former Barcelona man was on-loan at Tottenham Hotspur during the second half of last season, and had a relatively successful spell at White Hart Lane as he helped the club break into the top four.
Now it is thought that the 31-year-old intends to return to England, although Fulham are also keen.
