Christian Benteke signed a new contract with Crystal Palace that will keep him at Crystal Palace for 2 more years. The Belgium international committed his future with the club when Palace is replacing Roy Hodgson, who will be leaving the club at the end of this season.
The 30-year old joined Palace from Liverpool for a club-record fee five years ago and scored 10 Premier League goals in the 2020-21 seasons that took his total in top tier English football to 82 goals in 255 appearances. He said that he is very happy and proud to commit his future to crystal palace. Five years already and still a lot more to come in the upcoming years, we have a great group of players and staff and I’m looking forward to the season ahead and playing in front of our fans again. Benteke will also be playing in the upcoming Euro 2020 this summer after he was called up in Belgium’s squad.
Crystal Palace chairman, Steve Parish said that he is an integral part of consolidating our position as an established Premier League club over the five years, he’s an outstanding professional and has more than proven that he still has the quality and hunger to perform for our club at the highest level and I couldn’t be happier to see him in red and blue for another two seasons.
