Martin Jol rules out Darren Bent move

Fulham boss Martin Jol plays down a move for Aston Villa striker Darren Bent.

Fulham boss Martin Jol has insisted that signing a striker in the January transfer window is not one of his main priorities.

The Cottagers have been linked with a move for Aston Villa's out-of-favour striker Darren Bent, but the Dutchman has admitted that his focus is elsewhere.

"I signed him at Tottenham because if you saw him at Charlton he scored almost one every two games, so I thought he's a quality finisher," Jol told the Fulham & Hammersmith Chronicle.

"You never know, but we've got three good strikers. We've got Hugo Rodallega, Mladen Petric and Dimitar Berbatov. In the hole, we've got [Bryan] Ruiz.

"Of course we could do with maybe another creative player in that position, then I could leave Berbatov up front all the time."

Bent made the Villa squad for the weekend draw with Queens Park Rangers, but did not take part in the match.
