Doesn’t sound right, but I do get the impression Palace have been trying to get him away. So maybe it’s a case of getting some interest out there..

The biggest piece of nonsense is the price being quoted but I think that Benteke could benefit from a move away from Palace much as Sorloth did and it may just be what is needed for him to find his scoring touch again

It would typically Palace to sell him to Spurs only to see the Old Benteke (of his Villa days) return!
Definitely one that is very hard to see happening - back to Belgium for regular first team football - in a bid to make his national team (for the euro champs) would have some credibility.

In the right team, with the right tactics, with a fresh chance and confidence, Benteke could well fire again.

Personally it's a risk I'd take if I was Jose.

Thanks to my wife, who's a keen Spurs fan, we've followed the career of Christian Eriksen closely. Conte doesn't seem to respect him much, so Eriksen's time at Inter Milan may be short. I think if Benteke played with a midfielder who can deliver balls as well as Eriksen, Benteke might enjoy a bit of a resurgence. We don't have such a player; few teams do.

I definately agree with the first part - Although I dont see Spurs as being that club to get him firing again - too high profile , too much spotlight & quite frankly too much competition for places ( the only way spurs would be interested in him is as a striker to play maybe 3rd place behind Kane to help out with the fixture congestion when they dont want to risk their main man -

I could certainly see some European or less high profile club as being ideal for him
