Villa boss Lambert won't be "bullied" into selling Benteke on cheap

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert will only sell Christian Benteke for the right price.

The Sunday Mirror says Villa want £25million from Tottenham for Benteke, 22, but Spurs think that is unrealistic and are set to make a £20m bid this week.

A Villa Park source said: "Paul Lambert will not be bullied. Look what he did to Darren Bent. He is the club's record signing, but Paul did what he thought was best."
