  Arsenal will be due somewhere around 40-50 percent of the transfer proceeds from David Bentley's potential move from Blackburn Rovers to Tottenham Hotspur.

  Arsenal have a policy of putting in the "sell-on clause" into the transfer agreements when they sell their youngsters particularly because the initial-fee paid by the buying clubs is less. When Fabrice Muamba moved to Bolton Wanderers earlier this summer, Arsenal were said to have received around £1.6 million from his sell-on clause.

  So, if Bentley does complete his move to Tottenham for the reported £17 million, Arsenal are due a sizeable windfall from his transfer proceeds ranging from £7.8 million to £8.5 million.

  By buying David Bentley, Spurs may help Arsene Wenger increase his cash reserves. 

  By earning around £9 million by selling effectively nobody for that amount close season, Arsene Wenger will be a fairly satisfied man.

   

  Wenger really is an Economist.

  According to the Daily Telegraph, Bentley's original move from Arsenal to Ewood Park in 2006 included a 50 per cent sell-on clause, which has now reaped major dividends for the club that he used to be a trainee with.
  
  Spurs are reported to have paid £15 million for Bentley, with the fee even likely to increase up to £17 million based on performance milestones such as appearances.
