Christian Benteke on Liverpool's radar

Christian Benteke
 
Liverpool's transfer business this summer has been impressive in its decisiveness and it seems they are determined to sign a striker sooner rather than later.


The Mirror report that, having had a £22m bid for Christian Benteke rejected by Aston Villa, the Anfield club are prepared to offer in excess of £25m, although still short of the player's £32.5m release clause.
Having left it late to sign a striker last summer and ended up taking a (so far) unsuccessful punt on Mario Balotelli, it appears Brendan Rodgers is keen to secure his first choice targets this time round.
But despite scoring 42 Premier League goals in 89 games, opinion among Liverpool fans on the suitability of the 24-year-old Belgian to flourish on Merseyside is decidedly split.
