Liverpool 'accept Crystal Palace bid for Christian Benteke'

Liverpool reportedly accept an improved £27m offer from Crystal Palace for striker Christian Benteke, with a further £5m in possible add-ons.

Liverpool have reportedly accepted a bid from Crystal Palace for striker Christian Benteke.

The Eagles are known to have a long-standing interest in the 25-year-old Belgian international, but saw a bid of £23m rising to £30m rejected by the Reds earlier this week.

However, Palace have since returned with an improved offer, and numerous reports have claimed that the two clubs have finally come to an agreement.

The deal is understood to be worth an initial £27m with an additional £5m in add-ons, meaning that Liverpool could potentially recoup the vast majority of the £32.5m sum they paid for the striker last summer.

Benteke scored 10 goals in 42 appearances for Liverpool last season.
