Crystal Palace have agreed a deal in principle to sign Liverpool striker Christian Benteke for a club record £32m, reports BBC Sport.
The Eagles have been pursuing Benteke all summer and they are finally poised to sign the Belgium international for an initial £27m plus a further £5m in add-ons.
Benteke, 25, joined Liverpool last summer for £32.5m under Brendan Rodgers but does not feature in Jurgen Klopp’s long-term plans.
Of players that have played in more than 1000 minutes in the Premier League since the start of last season only five required fewer minutes per goal than Benteke (168.7 mins).
