Young has been strongly linked with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United after impressing for Villa in recent seasons.
Bent scored England’s second goal against Wales on Saturday from a Young assist.
“Ashley has been playing really, really well this season and being linked to top, top sides,” said the striker.
“It’s because of the form he is showing like against Wales that all these clubs are after him.
“He was fantastic and it helps me that he is also in the Villa side.
“The main thing is we can keep going, hang onto him for as long as possible and keep creating the chances for Villa and scoring goals.”
