Crystal Palace ready to sell Benteke to China

Crystal Palace are ready to sell Christian Benteke to a Chinese Premier League club this summer.

The Sun says the striker, 27, looks set to leave at the end of the season and his advisers are checking out Far East options.

Belgium star Benteke can push his claims for a lucrative move by impressing in Russia this summer — whether Palace stay up or not.

Palace want to recoup about £20million of the £27m they paid for the enigmatic target man in 2016.

And they would be happy if a Chinese club came up with the cash.

The Eagles want new strikers for next season.
