West Brom in transfer talks with Crystal Palace over striker
26.01.21 / 08:19
A striker has been top of Sam Allardyce's priority list since he took over the relegation-threatened Baggies before Christmas, and Benteke's proven Premier League goalscoring record appeals to Allardyce.
However, West Brom's finances are tight and negotiations with Palace have focused on how much of his existing wages would be paid by each side.
Palace are prepared to listen to offers for Benteke following the arrival of Jean-Philippe Mateta from Mainz, but it is understood there is still some distance between the two club's standpoints.
Benteke has scored three goals in 13 league appearances this term, including a double against West Brom in December, and his deal at Selhurst Park will run out in the summer.
