Benteke linked with Crystal Palace switch

Liverpool striker Christian Benteke has been linked with a switch to Crystal Palace, according to the Mirror.

The Belgium forward only moved to Anfield last summer but had an somewhat underwhelming first campaign with the Merseyside club, scoring just ten times in forty-two appearances in all competitions.

He only started fourteen matches in the Premier League, and his place could be further threatened following the arrival of Sadio Mane from Southampton.

Prior to his move to Liverpool, Benteke spent three seasons at Aston Villa, scoring forty-nine goals in one hundred and one outings.

Internationally, he has been capped twenty-six times for his country and has so far made two substitute appearances at this summer’s European Championships.

Belgium play Wales in the second of the competition’s quarter finals on Friday evening, and the forward can be backed at a price of 15/8 to score at anytime.
