Benteke Not Ruling Out Summer Move

Christian Benteke's agent has announced that a summer move could be on the cards but has reiterated that he is currently fully concentrated on helping Aston Villa stay in the Premier League this season.

The Belgium international has proved to be one of the best signings of the season having already scored 15 goals for Villa since his £8 million move from Genk. Due to his great performance this season, he has been linked with clubs such as Chelsea, Arsenal and Totenham but manager Paul Lambert has told clubs that if they want the 22 year-old then they will have to dig deep.

The strikers representative Eris Kismet has said he is not ruling out a summer move as long as both parties are happy and that he is not surprised that so many clubs are interested.

"It is normal that if you go to a club and do well, then other clubs will show an interest," said Kismet in the Daily Telegraph.

"Christian has shown that he can play in England so why not take the step up to the next level if the opportunity is there?".

"At the end of the season, interested clubs will talk to Villa, but it has to be right for Villa, the buying club and Christian".

"If all three parties are agreeable, something could happen, but right now his focus is on Villa, helping them stay in the Premier League."
