Christian Benteke

Another ghost of transfer windows past has come back to haunt more gossip columns this summer. As probably the most impressive striker (player even?) outside the top 6 in England right now, it’s no surprise that Benteke is consistently linked with a move to the big time. Benteke has been vocal about hopes of playing in the Champions League, and yet Liverpool and Spurs remain his two most likely suitors if the newspapers are to be believed. However, his rumoured £32million asking price is the big road block.

Benteke endured a quiet period for a lot of the season just gone by, however he found a new lease of life under Tim Sherwood in the second half of the term and banged in 12 goals in 12 games as the season winded to a close. Rumours linking him to Spurs have been met with suspicion by many Spurs fans who fear he may be a safety net for a Harry Kane exit – Don’t believe a word of it is my advice.
Kane has expressed a desire to stay at Spurs and the club have no great need to sell. Spurs fans can fully expect to see Kane at the Lane next season – but another 30 goal year is not as certain. A move for a proven hitman like Benteke would take huge pressure off Kane with the goalscoring load and would make Tottenham a formidable threat going forward when played together.
