Crystal Palace Striker Christian Benteke Set to Join CSL Side Shandong Luneng Taishan

Crystal Palace's Christian Benteke is set to depart the club after the Eagles received a £15m bid from Chinese side Shandong Luneng Taishan.

The striker has been far from his best this season, netting one measly goal in 16 Premier League outings. The move would unite Benteke with his international teammate Marouane Fellaini, who left Manchester United for the Chinese Super League in January.

As reported by the Times, Benteke has been offered £8m a year after tax by the Chinese side. He currently earns £130,000 a week on his Palace contract, which has just a year to run.
