Chelsea are tracking David Bentley's new contract talks at Blackburn Rovers.

The Sun says his England call-up has seen him linked with a move both at home and abroad but Mark Hughes is desperate to keep him.

Talks have already taken place and more are expected this month.

Bentley said: "All I can say is I enjoy going to work every day and playing for Blackburn Rovers.

"They've given me a career and financially given me stability off the pitch. On the pitch I'm really enjoying it too.

"You take it day-by-day and see how things pan out. But I'm loving being at Blackburn at the minute." Chelsea and Spanish club Atletico Madrid have been monitoring him.

I couldn't see this happening, this would be another step back from champions.

We have plenty of people who can operate on the wing. SWP, Malouda, Joe Cole, even Belletti, Ferreira and Bridge can operate there.

We don't strictly need him, but he is a good player and capable of playing for a top 4 side in the future.
