Christian Benteke laughs off speculation over Crystal Palace future as he calls for his team to 'look up'

Christian Benteke has insisted 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 £27million 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.
