Since scoring 15 goals in 36 Premier League games for the Eagles in his debut season, the Belgium international has managed just five in his last 67 league games, and it remains to be seen if he will be able to rediscover that 2016-17 form.
Benteke was also a beast in front of goal while he was at Aston Villa, scoring 42 times in 89 league games before leaving for Liverpool in the summer of 2015.
The 29-year-old was linked with a return to Villa Park in January as Dean Smith’s side sought a replacement for the injured Wesley, and it’s safe to say some fans indeed dreamt of having him back.
