Darren Bent is BAFFLED by rumoured Crystal Palace interest in Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah this month... as he believes the 22-year-old is what Brighton are 'crying out for'

Interest in Eddie Nketiah from Crystal Palace is 'surprising' when they are already well stocked in attack, believes Darren Bent.

The former Tottenham striker is struggling to get his head around reported interest in the Arsenal youngster by the Eagles, as he looks to land a January move.

'The Palace one surprises me when they have Benteke and Odsonne Edouard,' Bent told talkSPORT. 'That surprises me a little bit.'

Nketiah, who has turned down multiple extension offers at Arsenal already, has yet to start a Premier League game this season and has only come off the bench on three occasions.
