David Bentley has put his suitors on alert by revealing he has not signed a new deal at Blackburn Rovers.

Rovers have been locked in talks with Bentley over a new deal for some time now as they look to ward off interest in the classy midfielder.

Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham have all been credited with an interest in Bentley with all three thought to be lining up bids for his signature this summer.

Bentley, who is away with England preparing for the friendlies against USA and Trinidad & Tobago, hinted he could be interested in a move away as he wants to play at the highest level

Asked if he had agreed a new deal with Blackburn, Bentley said: "No I haven't signed it but we're not talking about that now.

"I watched the Champions League Final and of course that's the sort of match I want to play in. Every player when they start their career wants to reach the top of their game and I haven't done that yet.

Hungry

"I don't look at myself as a full international. I haven't played in a big tournament, haven't played in the Champions League, so I've still got it all to do at the moment.

"That's what I'm trying to do. I've still got to work hard, get better as a player and hopefully one day I'll be in the big games."
