Darren Bent<\/a> insists he has no intention of leaving Aston Villa<\/a> even if team-mate Ashley Young<\/a> follows manager Gerard Houllier<\/a> out of the exit door at Villa Park.<\/p>\n

Bent has made an instant impact for the club since his \u00a318 million January arrival from Sunderland, netting nine times in 16 appearances to help his new side ease clear of the relegation dogfight and earn a top half finish in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

But with Houllier now having left the club as a result of health problems and star duo Ashley Young and Stewart Downing reportedly the subject of interest from the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool, it had been rumoured that Bent had begun to consider his own future.<\/p>\n

The England striker has revealed this is not the case, and says he is looking forward to next season with Villa regardless of what happens this summer.<\/p>\n

“They the fans don’t need to worry about me,” he told reporters. “I’m tired of moving around.<\/p>\n

“I am at Aston Villa now and I have loved every minute I have been at the club. The people are nice and the staff are nice.<\/p>\n

“It’s a shame that a big part of what brought me to the club, Gerard Houllier, has left.<\/p>\n

“But at the same time I am committed to Aston Villa and I am looking forward to the season coming.<\/p>\n

“Every time I go to the training ground, I get a buzz and hopefully it will continue next season.”<\/p>\n

However, Bent is somewhat less confident that team-mate Young will stay at the club, admitting the winger’s form has made him difficult for top clubs to ignore.<\/p>\n

“He has shown people why clubs like Manchester United are after him and he is a top, top player,” the 27-year-old added.<\/p>\n

“I have always said the best player I have played with club-wise was Luka Modric at Tottenham but Ash can’t be too far behind now, if not on a par with him.<\/p>\n

“I am still trying little bits and bobs here and there to make him stay but at the end of the day he a top, top player and a top professional.<\/p>\n

“If he wants to go and play for the second-best club side in the world, who is going to stop him?”
