Tottenham striker Darren Bent has no regrets snubbing a move to West Ham United.

"A lot of people have asked me whether I should have chosen West Ham after what happened to me last season. But I have always felt I wanted to do well at Tottenham," said Bent.

"Now I can show people what I'm about."

Bent's been the main beneficiary of the Harry Redknapp regime at Tottenham following the departure of Juande Ramos. His confidence is back, and with it the scoring ability that made him such a sought after commodity.

Bent, who has also regained his place in the England squad, said: "The competition for places is big at Tottenham, but at a club like this you are going to have the best players.

"You are not going to have it harder than I did last year with Dimitar Berbatov, Robbie Keane and Jermain Defoe!"
