Darren Bent signs for Fulham on loan

Fulham sign Darren Bent on loan

Fulham have signed England international Darren Bent on loan from Aston Villa.

Aston Villa first brought the striker for a club record transfer fee of £18 million plus add ons in 2011. However, the rise of Christian Benteke and the hamstring injury that left him in the lurch for much of the last season has made him the second choice at the Villa Park.

Commenting on the signing to the BBC, Fulham boss Martin Jol stated: “He gives us pace up front and I am confident that he will add to our goals scored tally this season.”

Jol added: “He has shown in the Premier League that he is composed and clinical in front of goal but, even if he is not scoring, he is involved in some good link-up play, creating opportunities for his team-mates.”
