Full story: Daily Telegraph

What’s the story? Villa have moved on from Darren Bent with the emergence of Christian Benteke and Newcastle need a striker after Cisse struggled last season.Does it make sense? Newcastle isn’t the best place for him to go because of the presence of Cisse. However, there are rumblings they might move Cisse for various reasons which would make Bent an excellent signing. He just gets goals, always has done. Plus, Sunderland fans hate him.Is the price right? Yes. Good price for a guy who can get 15 goals.Will it happen? 8/10 – It seems like the wheels are in motion.
