Marcus Bent's agent, Charlie Burt, says his player is committed to the Town cause and that David Sheepshanks has told him that the club are not interested in selling the £3 million signing from Blackburn.

Burt admitted that Bent would love the opportunity to play in the Premiership again and now values his man at £5.5 million.

Bent has been linked with summer moves to West Ham and Tottenham and despite Sheepshanks' apparent reluctance to allow Bent to move on, the agent says that this does not completely preclude a move.

George Burley has repeatedly stated that any player has their price, even those he is determined to hold on to.
