Benteke leaves Liverpool for Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace have completed the signing of Christian Benteke for a fee believed to be in the region of £30million.

The Belgium international had long been linked with a move to Selhurst Park and has now signed a four-year deal with Palace to end his time at Liverpool.

Benteke joined Liverpool from Aston Villa ahead of the 2015-16 campaign, but failed to live up to the high expectations at Anfield.

He netted 10 goals in 42 appearances in all competitions last term, including the stoppage-time winner over Palace back in March.
