Liverpool are ready to break the bank for Charlton Athletic striker Darren Bent.
The striker was ignored by Sven Goran Eriksson for the World Cup - he did not even make England's stand-by list.
But Kop boss Rafa Benitez has been tracking Bent, 22, since January.
And the hitman, who hit 22 goals last season after a £2.5m move from Ipswich, believes he will have to move on to boost his international ambitions.
The Sun says Benitez is ready to splash out a massive £9.5 million to take Bent to Anfield.
