Liverpool have completed the signing of striker Christian Benteke from Aston Villa.
The
Belgian international striker completed a two-part medical in London
earlier this week before travelling to Anfield to put pen to paper on a
five-year deal.
Benteke becomes Liverpool’s
seventh signing of the close season as manager Brendan Rodgers looks to
rebuild his squad following a disappointing campaign which saw the Reds
miss out on Champions League qualification.
According to
reports, Liverpool will pay £16m up front, with the remainder of the
£32.5m fee to be paid over the course of his contract.
Benteke scored 12 goals in 12 games at the end of last season to help Villa avoid relegation from the Premier League.
