3- Christan Benteke- Aston Villa
Benteke has had a fantastic debut season in the Premier League, scoring 19 goals as he helped Aston Villa avoid relegation to the Championship. The Belgian is a natural goal scorer and has pace and power which will upset even the best centre backs. Liverpool have been monitoring Benteke for most of the season and appear ready to make a bid for the striker. The Belgian could be seen as a replacement for Liverpool’s want-away striker Luis Suarez, who almost certainly will leave Anfield this summer following his comments in the media and reports that he has already agreed personal terms with the club of his choice, Real Madrid. Liverpool would look to spend a sizeable amount of the money made from the sale of Suarez on a bid for Benteke but Aston Villa will do everything they can to keep the Belgian at Villa Park and are reportedly demanding at least £20 million for the striker. Also, Tottenham are known to be in the market for a striker and have recently made an approach for Benteke, meaning Liverpool will face competition for the Belgian’s signature. It may come down to which club can offer the striker the most as both will offer Benteke wages well in excess of what he is earning at Aston Villa.
