Crystal Palace’s long-winded pursuit of Liverpool striker Christian Benteke appears to have finally paid off.

The London club will shell out an initial £27m pounds for the Belgian frontman, with an expected £5m in add-ons over time.

Benteke was bought for £32.5m in July 2015 under the Brendan Rodgers regime, however he failed to assert himself as a regular in Jurgen Klopp’s calculations and the exit door loomed large.

Alan Pardew will now work with a player he branded a ‘cheat’ just five months ago when he suggested the 25-year-old dived and was awarded a last minute penalty which won a dramatic match for Liverpool.
