After signing the extension, Benteke said: “I’m happy and proud to commit my future to Crystal Palace. Five years already and still a lot more to come.

“We have a great group of players and staff, and I’m looking forward to the season ahead and playing in front of our fans again.”

Chairman Steve Parish added: “Christian has been an integral part of consolidating our position as an established Premier League club over the last five years.
