Liverpool's Christian Benteke agrees personal terms with Crystal Palace ahead of Selhurst Park switch

Christian Benteke has agreed personal terms with Crystal Palace and is desperate to complete his move to Selhurst Park.
Palace and Liverpool are still to finalise an agreement on the transfer fee, with Liverpool holding out for a deal that will recoup the £32million paid to Aston Villa last summer.
But all parties are optimistic a deal will be completed this week, possibly as soon as Monday, as the Eagles finally get the top-level centre-forward they have been looking for while Benteke will become the highest-earning player in the club's history.

Palace have had a successful summer so far, bringing in a new first-choice goalkeeper in French international Steve Mandanda, defensive reinforcements in James Tomkins and another wide attacker, Andros Townsend.
Benteke will compete with Connor Wickham for the starting spot up front, while the coaching staff aren't ruling out playing a 4-4-2 in the coming season with either Wickham or Yannick Bolasie playing off the Belgian.
Bolasie is the subject of interest from other Premier League clubs and his camp is miffed at having their contract renegotiation attempts rebuffed.
