Christian Benteke

After enduring a stuttering start to life in English football, the man mountain has been causing havoc in the Midlands recently.

His brute strength and direct movement is coupled with a rare composure on the ball, which has helped confine one-time goal machine Darren Bent to the reserves. If Paul Lambert is to conjure a positive turnaround at Aston Villa, expect Christian Benteke to play a big part.
