Transfer Watch: Everton agree deal for Bent

The 26 year old spent last season on loan at Leicster, but he must now decide which to join either Everton or Portsmouth. Both clubs have had offers for £450,000 accepted. Bent was sold to Ipswitch for £3m in 2001.

Ipswich boss Joe Royle said: "Three ckubs have asked about Marcus and Everton and Portsmouth have both made bids in the region of £450,000.

"We have accepted the offers and it's now down to Marcus to decide where he wants to go."
