According to the Daily Mirror, Manchester City is reportedly interested in signing Christian Benteke. The 22-year-old Belgian international has been in good form this season, despite his club Aston Villa’s low position in the Premier League standings (17th, first above the relegation zone).
Benteke, a striker for the Villans, has scored 13 goals in 27 matches. Although Aston Villa has struggled, Benteke’s performances have attracted attention from top clubs, with Manchester City and Tottenham both reportedly considering him for a potential transfer.
The player of Congolese origin is currently under contract with Aston Villa until June 2016. However, there is speculation about a possible move in the upcoming transfer window. Benteke’s agent, Eris Kismet, has hinted at the likelihood of the player donning different colors for the next season. The race for Benteke’s signature appears to be competitive, with Manchester City and Tottenham both expressing interest in securing his services.
