Premier League: 10 Players Who Need To Move On In January

3. Darren Bent darren bent Depending on what you choose to believe, Darren Bent was not getting selected for a struggling Villa side because of a falling out with Paul Lambert, because he was close to triggering a payment to Sunderland for reaching 50 league appearances, or because he has not been very good. 176 career goals shows Bent is a goalscorer however the feeling has been that he offers very little else. For a team like Liverpool, that creates plenty of chances but does not always finish them off, Bent would be a good fit at the right price. He is currently injured until the middle of January, but that might just lower his price a little bit more.

2. Florent Malouda

Six months training away from the first team may have altered the Frenchman€™s thinking a little. At 32 he may be a short term option for a few clubs, and he was linked with former side Lyon and teams in Brazil.
