According to reports from The Express this morning, in-demand Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke is only interested in a move to Liverpool this summer.
The Belgium international ended the 2014/15 campaign in a blaze of incredible form, netting twelve times in his final 13 outings – including a Premier League hat-trick against Queens Park Rangers – to bring his Villains total to 49 goals in 99 appearances.
That, in combination with the revelation that his Villa Park contract includes a £32.5million release clause, has generated plenty of interest in the 24 year-old.
The Express moot Arsenal as potential suitors – after missing out on Porto star Jackson Martinez – along with Tottenham, whilst Manchester United launched an enquiry into the Birmingham outfit’s valuation of the 6 foot 3 front-man last month.
But according to The Express, Benteke has his heart set on joining Liverpool this summer, who have allegedly registered a £22million bid already.
They claim the former Genk prodigy will turn down a move to London even if Villa agree a fee with Arsenal or Spurs, although they failed to confirm his opinions on an Old Trafford switch.
why would he turn down the club he claims he supports (arsenal) . plus arsenal are in the champions league. given the choice between liverpool and arsenal he would go to arsenal. i dont care what the express and there no nothing reporters are writing. yesterday they where saying he was going to spurs , another day another bs story by the express and silly websites like this spread there bs.
