Ramos: Bentley will flourish at Spurs under my guidance

13 April 2012

Tottenham boss Juande Ramos has thrown down the gauntlet to £15million signing David Bentley to fulfil his potential.

The England winger impressed Ramos with his performances for Blackburn last season, and the Spaniard believes Bentley can flourish at White Hart Lane.

'He had a magnificent season, a great season,' Ramos said. 'And he has the qualities to do well at this club.'

'David will bring the best possible ability to our team. He is a very skilful, technical player with an exquisite touch.

Dynamic duo: Ramos and Bentley have mutual respect for each other


'Tactically and strategically, he will bring a lot to the side and we hope we can help him maximise his potential,' Ramos told Spurs' official website.

Bentley too was purring at the pairing, remarking: 'This is a great environment to work in. Juande Ramos has been there and done it and I have great respect for him.

'I have seen what he has done with the other players. I talked to the lads before I came here and they said he's great. It's hard work, but that's what I want.

'I want to work hard and enjoy myself and Juande can develop my game and push me on to the next level,' Bentley told Spurs' official website.

The England international was unveiled at Spurs on Thursday, and travelled with his new team-mates to Holland for the Feyenoord Jubileum Tournament, and is expected to make his debut against either Celtic or Borussia Dortmund.
