It is not the first time that West Ham United have been linked with a move for Christian Benteke, and according to The Telegraph they may revive their interest in the striker.

The publication states that the 26-year-old is pondering his Crystal Palace future after having an on-pitch argument with teammate Andros Townsend during Saturday’s victory over Middlesbrough.

Benteke made the move to Selhurst Park from Liverpool for a reported £32m figure last summer and has gone on to score 11 goals in 28 appearances in all competitions.

The striker has had a goal drought of late, though, scoring just the once since Sam Allardyce was appointed manager in December.

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic admitted in October that he was looking at Benteke during last summer’s transfer window, but a move failed to materialise.

Now The Telegraph speculate that the Hammers may turn their attention to Benteke at the end of the season.

As expected, fans have had their say on the matter, with plenty insisting that he is not a better fit than one of their current forwards Andy Carroll.

Others, though, would welcome the arrival of the Belgium international.
