Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood says Christian Benteke is perfectly happy to stay put at Villa Park.

Benteke has been in sparkling form in recent times and his wonderful goalscoring exploits have helped Villa steer clear of the relegation zone - as well as progress into the final of the FA Cup.

Sherwood said: "Like I've said in the past, he has shown no indication to me that he wants to move elsewhere.

"I think he is enjoying his time here and everyone is seeing that. He is a top player but we have a lot of top players in here and no one wants to fight relegations. This may be the fourth season in a row that the club has been fighting relegation.

"I don't just say words, I genuinely mean it - if we can get through this season we will build something where we are going to step upwards - we won't be in that position again."
