Christian BentekeChristian Benteke has agreed personal terms with Crystal Palace and is desperate to complete his move to Selhurst Park. However, senior officials at Palace don't expect Bolasie to leave, with no team likely to meet Steve Parish's bumper asking price for the winger. Palace and Liverpool are still to finalise an agreement on the transfer fee, with Liverpool holding out for a deal that will recoup the £32million paid to Aston Villa last summer. Benteke will compete with Connor Wickham for the starting spot up front, while the coaching staff aren't ruling out playing a 4-4-2 in the coming season with either Wickham or Yannick Bolasie playing off the Belgian. Bolasie is the subject of interest from other Premier League clubs and his camp is miffed at having their contract renegotiation attempts rebuffed.
