Christian Benteke: I'm not looking to leave Crystal Palace

Christian Benteke has said he has no plans to leave Crystal Palace and is fully focused on inspiring their battle against relegation.

The striker became Palace's club-record signing in the summer when they spent £27 million to recruit him from Liverpool.

He scored his ninth and 10th goals of the domestic season on Tuesday to help secure the Eagles a 2-1 FA Cup third-round replay win over Bolton.

It had been reported that new manager Sam Allardyce was willing to sell Benteke, bought by his predecessor Alan Pardew, in an attempt to fund further signings -- although Allardyce recently denied those suggestions.
