Christian Benteke has no plans of leaving Crystal Palace this month

Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke has no plans of leaving the club despite the recent arrival of Jean-Philippe Mateta on an 18-month loan deal from Mainz with a buy option, Football Insider reports.

The Belgium international has less than six months remaining on his contract with the Eagles and the club have yet to open negotiations over a possible renewal beyond that period.

The 30-year-old has netted only three times in the Premier League this term, but all of those goals have come from the start of December when he has been a regular up front under manager Roy Hodgson.
