Looks like they?d be willing to sell to us anyway?. Charlton chairman Richard Murray can see no reason why Darren Bent should want to leave Charlton in the foreseeable future - unless it was to make "a quantum leap" to a top-four Barclays Premiership club. With the likes of Newcastle and now Tottenham reportedly upping their interest in the England striker, it has been suggested the Addicks could be ready to cash in on their prized asset. However, Murray feels the arrival of veteran Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink yesterday signalled the intent of the south-east London club to look forwards as they prepare for a new era following the departure of long-serving boss Alan Curbishley. Manager Iain Dowie sees Bent - who was the top English marksman in the Premiership last season with 22 goals - as an integral part of his side. And Murray firmly believes the young striker, who missed out on the England World Cup squad, can show his potential while at The Valley. "Darren came to us from Ipswich and signed a four-year deal - he said `I really want to be here, and I think this is a great place for my career'," Murray recalled. "If he goes on from success to success, maybe one day we will not be able to hold on to him. "Then that will be the time he can maybe go to a top-four club, where it is a quantum leap. "But I really believe for the next year or two, then we are as good a place as any." Murray added: "We will look after him, teach him and maybe at 24 or 25 if the time is right, he goes on - or if we have moved on by then, maybe we can satisfy his ambitions."
