Liverpool striker Christian Benteke is set for a medical at Crystal Palace, according to reports.

The Eagles made Benteke a priority target at the start of the summer window and have seen multiple bids rejected by the Reds.

However, they look to have finally landed the 25-year-old with reports saying an agreement between the two clubs has been reached.

It is believed the initial fee is around £27 but that the deal could rise above £32m when add-ons are included.

Benteke joined Liverpool last summer from Aston Villa but failed to impress in Merseyside, scoring nine goals in 29 league games.
