    Van onze speciale verslaggever HEERENVEEN -

    Eredivisietopscorer Bas Dost tekende tegen VVV-Venlo zijn 23e competitiegoal aan. Het Engelse Aston Villa (waar Arthur Numan scout is) heeft inmiddels interesse getoond.

    "Daar wist ik van. Ik ken de club niet heel goed, maar de interesse is mooi”, zegt Dost, die pas na het lopende seizoen met geïnteresseerde clubs wil praten. "Ik heb de afspraak met mijn zaakwaarnemer staan om gedurende het seizoen niet met andere clubs te praten”, vertelt de spits. "Aan dat contact heb ik niets.”

    Aston Villa legde eerder al AZ’er Brett Holman vast en heeft eveneens grote interesse in zijn ploeggenoot Simon Poulsen

    SUNDERLAND CONSIDER VILLA BENT BID

    Sunderland have still to formally accept Aston Villa's bid - believed to be around £18million - for striker Darren Bent.

    */Bent is understood to be in the midlands waiting for the go-ahead to start negotiating personal terms with Villa and to undergo a medical./*

    Sources close to Villa say they are "hoping to complete the final pieces" of the deal in the next 24 hours but also warned "nothing is simple".

    But indications from the Black Cats are that Villa's bid, which could eventually rise to £24million with add-ons, has still to be given the green light although that may change later.

    Bent's arrival would smash Villa's previous transfer record of £12million paid for James Milner and Stewart Downing when signing from Newcastle and Middlesbrough respectively.

    Villa boss Gerard Houllier has already spent £6million during the current transfer window on Lyon midfielder Jean Makoun.

    He also retains an interest in Blackpool skipper Charlie Adam despite having two bids rejected.

    Bent has scored 81 Premier League goals in the last five seasons - a figure only bettered by Didier Drogba and Wayne Rooney with 82 apiece.

    It is understood Sunderland boss Steve Bruce, although disappointed to be losing a striker of Bent's quality, is keen for any move to Villa to go ahead sooner rather than later.That will give him sufficient time to bring in a replacement before the transfer window closes in just under a fortnight.

    £20 MILLION MAN?

    /Darren Bent has handed in a transfer request but Sunderland are set to demand at least £20million for the Aston Villa target./

    Latest *Darren Bent* feedback comes from Jason Jackson, who says: "If indeed we have made a bid of £18 million for him, it shows great faith in Mr Houllier and infact Mr Chairman is going all out to keep us in the league, DB is a great striker and his goal ratio suggests he will be a greater asset to us than we have at the moment, but will sunderland and mR Bruce sell their main goalscorer? I hope so because we need one, Omar Cummings looks a good player from what I can find of him on the tinternet, he is a quick skillfull player and before anyone says he is from the MLS, yes I know but he is on par with Landon Donovan over the past couple of seasons for the MLS golden Boot. So he could be another good asset. Just hope that it does not prompt other clubs to try and buy Stewart Downing or Ashley Young."

    DARREN BENT HANDS IN TRANSFER REQUEST

    Sunderland have confirmed Darren Bent has handed in a transfer request.

    The 26-year-old striker has asked to leave the club he joined for an initial £10million during the summer of 2009 amid speculation t...hat Aston Villa have tabled an £18million bid.The Black Cats, who have not confirmed Bent's request, are believed not to have accepted it at this stage.Bent scored his 11th goal of the season in last weekend's 2-1 FA Cup third-round defeat by Notts County, but has managed just two in his last nine games and drew a blank in yesterday's 1-1 derby draw with Newcastle.He enjoyed a sensational first season on Wearside after ending his nightmare at Tottenham, and rewarded manager Steve Bruce with 25 goals.The former Ipswich and Charlton frontman missed out on a trip to last summer's World Cup finals in South Africa, the second time he had suffered the same disappointment, but scored his first senior international goal in a 3-1 Euro 2012 qualifier victory in Switzerland in September.Bruce invested a club-record fee in excess of £13million to recruit Ghana international Asamoah Gyan to play alongside Bent in August last year, but it appears he now faces a fight to keep the pair together.

    DERBY CONCERNS FOR BRUCE

    Birmingham manager Steve Bruce has three major injury concerns for Sunday's derby clash with Aston Villa at St Andrews.

    Gary McSheffrey (calf), Cameron Jerome (stomach) and Garry O'Connor (groin) are all battling to be fit. O'Connor has had a scan which has revealed a problem in the groin area, an injury which will also be of concern to Scotland ahead of their vital Euro 2008 qualifier with Italy on November 17.

    Blues skipper Liam Ridgewell will face his former club for the first time since making his £2million move during the summer.

    Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill is hopeful winger Ashley Young will be fit for the second-city derby.

    Young limped out of the 2-0 win over Derby with a groin strain last weekend and was unable to train on Friday, but O'Neill remains optimistic he will be available to face City.

    Striker John Carew could come into the equation after missing six games with knee ligament damage, although he did not feature in Villa's mid-week reserve game with Tottenham.
