Christian Benteke to hold talks with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp

Christian Benteke reveals that he will speak to Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp about his lack of minutes on the pitch.

Christian Benteke has revealed that he intends to hold talks with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp about his lack of playing time.

The Belgian, who joined the Reds from Aston Villa last summer for £32.5m, started just three Premier League games this season.

After Klopp replaced Brendan Rodgers as manager in October, Benteke fell behind Divock Origi and Daniel Sturridge in the pecking order.

The striker maintains that he wants to stay at Anfield, but intends to ask Klopp what his plans are for next season before he travels to France with his Belgium teammates for Euro 2016.

According to Sky Sports News, when asked if he is happy to stay at Liverpool, Benteke said: "Of course, I signed for five years. I didn't sign for one year, but now I must speak with the manager and see his plan for next season.

"My first season wasn't easy but I keep going. I never doubt myself. I am going now to focus on the Euros and we will see next season."

Benteke, who has been linked with a move to West Ham United, came off the bench in the second half of Liverpool's 3-1 defeat to Sevilla in Thursday's Europa League final.
