Darren Bent to move to QPR in January? Visit Betfair Save For Later Posted by Bettingpro Staff 21 Dec 2011 Tweet Is Darren Bent about to move to QPR? (credit: GETTY) Related Articles See all Transfers news Share it Pin It QPR are reportedly preparing an ambitious January bid for Aston Villa and England striker Darren BentDarren Bent demonstrated with his unexpected eagerness to leave Sunderland for Aston Villa last winter that he won't tolerate what he perceives to be mediocrity, and his current team appear to be similarly stagnant right now.It is also significant that he was signed by Gerard Houllier and arrived talking up the quality of service provided by the likes of Ashley Young and Stewart Downing. Eleven months on, Alex McLeish is his boss and the support has dried up so much that he averages fewer touches a game than any other Premier League player.His relationship with supporters took a dive on Sunday when he was snapped out shopping in the closing stages of Aston Villa's 2-0 home loss to Liverpool, a match that he missed through injury. Though he has since apologised, the incident has seen his commitment to the club questioned.If the England striker is keen to move in January again - something that could harm his presently healthy chances of featuring at Euro 2012, see Andy Carroll - then there will be no shortage of suitors, with several high-profile sides short of firepower.Liverpool have been mentioned as a potential destination, with Carroll's uninspiring form and the prospect of a lengthy Luis Suarez absence viewed as creating an opening, however Kenny Dalglish has remained tight-lipped about the possibility.The Daily Mirror are claiming that QPR are ready to optimistically throw their hat into the ring and attempt to tempt the 27-year-old back to the capital, provided they get the windfall that they expect from moneybags Paris St-Germain for Adel Taarabt.The Hoops have shown ambition in their transfer dealings since Tony Fernandes' takeover, bringing in the likes of Joey Barton and Shaun Wright-Phillips, but they are three points behind Villa and far from certain to avoid relegation at 5.2, so it would seem a sideways switch at best.
