Christian Benteke has been in great form this season with Aston Villa, scoring 11 goals and becoming the focal point of their attack under manager Tim Sherwood. Since Sherwood’s arrival, the club has shifted to base its attacking play around the Belgian striker, making him an integral part of the team.
However, when asked about the possibility of Benteke leaving, Sherwood made it clear that while he hasn’t been informed of any desire to leave, the decision ultimately lies with the player. Sherwood, reflecting on his own career, said that you can’t force a player to stay if they want to move on.
Benteke is currently focused on finishing the season strong, and he hasn’t made a public statement regarding his future plans. With his strong performances, it’s likely that there will be plenty of interest from other clubs, especially if Villa’s struggles to stay in the Premier League continue.
A big question remains: Will Aston Villa be able to keep Benteke? His future will depend on the club’s end-of-season performance and if they can secure a place in the Premier League.
