Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke: Do I regret Liverpool move?

Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke insists he doesn't regret signing for Liverpool.

Benteke left Liverpool for Palace in August in a deal worth up to £32m, but harbours no ill-feeling towards his former club.

"It was an honour to play for Liverpool, such a big club with such a big history," Benteke told Sky Sports.

"I didn't play or perform as I wanted. It was my decision to go there and I don't regret anything.

"I didn't have the chances to perform. I learned that's football. That is why I have no anger against anyone there.

"[The] frustration is at myself that in the short time I had to play I didn't do it as I wanted. Brendan [Rodgers] did everything for me to come there, then I had my injury and I couldn't help. I wanted to do more."
