Style of Play
Most commonly Bentley plays as a right winger, but he can also play as a central midfielder or a second striker. When he was at Arsenal, Bentley was slated to play in the second striker role, but after joining Blackburn he found himself deployed more frequently on the right side of midfield due to his ability to cross the ball. He is a set-piece specialist and regularly takes charge of corner and free kick duties for his team. He is known for his technique, composure and creativity on the ball and is often talked about as a should-be central midfielder, but his ability to deliver from wide positions means he is often used as a winger, despite lacking the pace of some of his Premier League counterparts.
