Christian Benteke is on the verge of moving from Liverpool to Crystal Palace, according to reports.

The Daily Express is of the belief that the Eagles are confident of landing the Belgian striker for an increased fee of £31.5million.

Palace initially offered £25m for Benteke but were told by the Reds to up their bid.

It is understood that the South Londoners will return with an improved proposal which should be enough for Liverpool to sell.
