Christian Benteke has cooled talk of leaving Crystal Palace this summer.

The Belgian international says he is determined to prolong his career with Crystal Palace under new manager Frank de Boer.

"I'm very happy," he said. "I want to be part of the project of the manager and I'm looking forward for this new season.

"I want to perform and to score more goals and to really help the team to reach where they want to be.

"Since we came back for pre-season I didn't really want to talk, but I want to be here.

"There's the World Cup and that's an important aspect of being with the club and you have to perform to be part of that group."
