Striker is wanted by English trio

Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood is ‘convinced’ that wanted hitman Christian Benteke will remain at the club next season and will reject any offers to move this summer.

The Belgium forward has attracted attention from the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool, with reports suggesting that Villa could be willing to let their player go if an offer around £30 million pounds was tabled.

However, Sherwood has dismissed these rumours and insists that the player is keen himself to stay at the club.

Sherwood Expects Benteke Stay

“Christian is only a young man but he’s very mature in the way he behaves,” the Villa boss said. “I think he’s handled the situation well.

“I have no reason to believe he wants to seek employment elsewhere.”

“He seems to be very happy here and this morning, at training, he was smiling.”

“He knows there are big games coming up in Sunday and the cup final and I think he wants to be at this football club. I’m convinced of that.”
