Crystal Palace have completed the signing of Christian Benteke from Liverpool on a four-year contract.
The Belgian striker becomes Alan Pardew’s fourth summer signing following Andros Townsend, Steve Mandanda and James Tomkins.
The 25-year-old told the official Palace website: “I’m very happy to commit my future to Crystal Palace and I’m looking forward to meeting the manager, the players and the staff.
“I feel really happy that the deal has been done and now I can look forward.”
The deal is believed to be worth an initial £27m, with add-ons will take the fee above £32m.
