Darren Bent, who played at Ipswich Town with Darren Ambrose before Newcastle United bought him, has today played down rumours claiming that him and Ambrose will be re-united at St James' Park.

Bent scored 18 times last season despite starting many games from the bench. Ipswich have stated that no bid has been received.

Sir Bobby Robson failed with a £3m double offer for Bent and Darren Ambrose back in February. Having signed Ambrose seperately, the Toon boss is still keen to bring Bent to Tyneside.

Darren Bent told the Ipswich Evening Star: "I don't know anything about Newcastle coming in for me. I haven't heard anything from the club.

"I'm just going to wait and see what happens. Until something definite happens there's no point in me saying anything else."
