"Aston Villa" striker Christian Benteke has decided to stay with the Birmingham team. Last week there were reports that the footballer wanted to leave the team and handed in an official transfer request. However, team manager Paul Lambertas managed to convince the Belgian to stay at "Aston Villa." C. Benteke's new contract is valid until the summer of 2017. This decision is likely to not sit well with the leaders and coaches of "Tottenham." The London club showed the most interest in this Belgian. Last summer, C. Benteke joined "Aston Villa" from the "Genk" club. The English paid almost 9 million euros for him. During his debut season in the Premier League, the Belgian scored 19 goals and attracted the attention of several top clubs in the country.
