Asking for gent, squire's all over the place (10)

I believe the answer is:

requesting

'asking for' is the definition.
('request' can be a synonym of 'ask for')

'gent squire's all over the place' is the wordplay.
'all over the place' indicates an anagram.
'gent'+'squire'='gentsquire'
'gentsquire' anagrammed gives 'REQUESTING'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
