    Christian Benteke issues 'come get me' plea to Arsenal

    Striker Christian Benteke has told Aston Villa he 'won't necessarily accept' it if they tell him he cannot leave the club.

    The 22-year-old Belgium international scored 19 Premier League goals this season and has been linked to with a move away from Villa Park, with Arsenal among the clubs mentioned as a possible destination.

    Quoted by The Sun, Benteke said: "If Aston Villa say I must stay, I won't necessarily accept that. I do not in any way want to feel I didn't get the most out of my career. I try to get everything."

    He added: "Of course playing the World Cup in Rio is in my head. But I have no fear of falling out of the team. There is no point in me getting into a tug-of-war with Villa.

    "If the chance comes up for me to join a club like Arsenal, I'm convinced we can reach a compromise where everyone comes out a winner."

      Benteke needs sto stay at Villa for at least one more year and develop his game and repay the coach for having such faith in him.

        Has a lot to learn...but it would be good if added to GUNNERS player list!
        He would have to work himself in the squad...as he is far from the finished article.

        Remember at Villa as long as fit he played?
        ...and on coming in at the GUNNERS he may not enjoy that playing time 'right off the bat'.

          Benteke needs to learn to behave himself, he is under contract for another 3 years, that is not the way to go about things.

                Christian Benteke upset at newspaper reports about Aston Villa future

                Christian Benteke: Villa striker 'disgusted' at being misquoted

                Sky Bet
                Christian Benteke's agent has moved to distance the Aston Villa striker from comments suggesting he would try to force a move away from the club.

                A report in The Sun on Friday linked the Belgian to just about all of the Premier League's leading clubs, and suggested that he would do everything he could to get away from Villa Park.

                But his agent Eris Kismet told Sky Sports that the report was inaccurate and that Benteke was not looking to get in to some kind of war with the club.
                Kismet said: "Christian and I are surprised and disgusted by a story in the Sun newspaper claiming Benteke can do what he wants.

                "He has been misquoted.
                "The true line is that Christian does not want to make a war with Aston Villa.

                "The true line is that Christian does not want to make a war with Aston Villa. He has called me today from New York and he is disgusted, I have told him not to speak to any media from now on."

                Christian Benteke's agent

                "He has called me today from New York and he is disgusted, I have told him not to speak to any media from now on."

                "If there is interest, which is normal after the season he has had, no way will problems be made by Christian and myself. That is what he said in the interview!"

                Misquoted

                Benteke had been quoted as saying: "If Aston Villa say I must stay, I won't necessarily accept that. I do not in any way want to feel I didn't get the most out of my career. I try to get everything.

                "Of course playing the World Cup in Rio is in my head. But I have no fear of falling out of the team. There is no point in me getting into a tug-of-war with Villa.

                "If the chance comes up for me to join a club like Arsenal, I'm convinced we can reach a compromise where everyone comes out a winner."

                Villa manager Paul Lambert was unhappy with the initial story and suggested Benteke concentrate on following up his fine first season at the club with another consistent campaign.

                "I don't really 100 per cent know what's happened but he's got three years here at Aston Villa and the club have always come first," said Lambert before the denial from Benteke's agent.

                "He's had one of those seasons where he's never really been injured and he's never been suspended except the last day.

                "It's a unique thing, and he's got to remember that he's only 22 years of age. He's got so much to learn.

                "He's only a kid starting out and he's going to have ups and downs like everybody else. Once he starts to play 400 or 500 games you might think, 'yeah, he's a good player'.

                "I think sometimes we've got to have a reality check here. This lad's only been in Britain for 10 months. He's got the status at Aston Villa and everybody loves him."

                  I don't know if you guys knew this, but it was the same foolishness he went on with when he was at Genk. He went on strike to force his move to Villa.

                      Do not talk to the media! Really?

                      The usual sweet talk. ...and that is as it should be.
                      It is already out there that the player will move if the price is right.

                      ...as to speaking to the media that is just about being careful on what is said from here on forward. ...and that is as it should be.

                              yeah. I don't know about the Vancouver coach because he keeps on rotating forwards even when them scoring and in form. If you check the amount of forwards he bought and sold over the last year and rotate, it is a lot.

                              bought the french striker from Philly, Sell him back, got one from A league team he used to coach, Mattocks, Lee, Kenny Miller, he had Salgado, and Camilo who was there leading scorer the year before. He turned around and sold Lee, the two french strikers and now Camilo who is buried getting some game and another new youth. Mattocks would do well in Seatle with a coach like Ziggy Smith or his former coach in Portland (Caleb Porter).

                              If I was a young player who had a choice to play in the MLS, I wouldn't sign with any of the Canadian teams. They are not really good for developing young players as they want to win now and easy to call in some old England players.
