Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke admits interest from top Premier League clubs is good for his confidence.

The Belgium international, 24, is on the radar of the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United and although he does not know what the future holds, he admits the talk puts a spring in his step as he prepares for international fixtures with the Rode Duivels.

"It's good for confidence and I'm very pleased about that but I'm just focused on the national side," he told Sky Sports News HQ.
