Benteke too good for Arsenal

GABBY AGBONLAHOR has told fellow Aston Villa frontman Christian Benteke: 

You’re too good to join Arsenal or Tottenham.

Belgian Benteke, 22, is tipped to make a big-money move from Villa this summer after an 

impressive debut Premier League season.

Chelsea and Manchester City are both keen on the striker, who has hit 15 goals this term.

But North Londoners Arsenal and Spurs would give him more first-team opportunities 

and are ready to battle it out.

Benteke, who faces the Gunners this Saturday, was a £7million signing from Genk and is 

now worth more than double that figure. But Agbonlahor said: “He’s good enough for 

even higher than them. He’s up there with the best.

“He shows that by the way he plays, he has composure for a big guy and quite a bit 

of pace too. “He’s going to get linked with the top clubs, especially because he is young.

“Christian’s shocked a lot of people — he’s one of the players of the season. 

A number of clubs would love him.”
