AS Monaco interested in deal to sign Benteke

AS Monaco are showing an interest in Crystal Palace centre-forward Christian Benteke this summer.

According to GFFN, Monaco are keen on the striker, as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of next season.

The report also claims that Monaco are looking at Fiorentina forward Giovanni Simeone, which means that they could pursue a deal for him instead of Benteke if Palace decide they want to keep him.

Palace have only made one first-team signing this summer, with Jordan Ayew joining the club on a permanent basis following his loan spell from Swansea last season. 

Benteke scored one goal in 19 games for Palace last season, after scoring three in 30 during the 2017/18 campaign. This came after he scored an impressive 17 goals in his first year at the club.
