Aston Villa offered Christian Benteke reunion hope after Crystal Palace transfer decision

“His record was really good at Villa, I think it was a goal every two games, around about that mark, to be honest, he was sensational, to be honest,” the unattached full-back told Football Insider.

“Big, powerful, the way we played suited him, balls into the box, holding the ball up, getting to use his head, so he’d definitely suit them.

“I know he has tailed off over the last few years, Liverpool move didn’t work, Crystal Palace he’s not scored many.

“But I know him as a person and he’ll be desperate to prove his worth and maybe a move back to Villa…I’m sure the Villa fans will welcome him back with open arms.
