Christian Benteke Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace have received a huge boost with Christian Benteke signing a new two-year contract at the club. The Belgian striker has been at Selhurst Park for five years now, joining for a club record fee back in 2016.
Christian Benteke said: “I’m happy and proud to commit my future to Crystal Palace. Five years already and still a lot more to come. We have a great group of players and staff, and I’m looking forward to the season ahead and playing in front of our fans again.”
With the futures of many players at the club still in the balance, the renewal of Benteke’s stay in South London is a huge boost for Palace. For Parish, Benteke’s extended stay in South London will mean one less player needing to be brought into the squad for now. The chairman paid tribute to the work Benteke has done since joining Palace, and noted his delight at the deal.
Steve Parish said: “Christian has been an integral part of consolidating our position as an established Premier League club over the last five years. He is an outstanding professional and has more than proven that he still has the quality and the hunger to perform for our club at the highest level, and I couldn’t be happier to see him in red and blue for another two seasons.”
