Aston Villa Transfers: 5 Clubs Who Need Christian Benteke

5. Aston Villa

Villa Park Ironically, the club who need him most is the club he's already at and they should really be doing everything in their power to keep him. Villa are a big club, but they're a big club in decline and should not be languishing in 17th position in the Premier League. It is undeniable that Villa need to balance the books, after reporting huge financial losses over the past 2 years (reporting a £53.9m last year and £37.6m the year before), but one of the primary ways they should be looking to do that is by remaining in the Premier League - and selling Christian Benteke will do nothing to aid them on that front. The only real available backup to Benteke at the club is the out-of-favour Darren Bent and Gabriel Agbonlahor, who has so far failed to live up to the early potential shown in his career. If Villa want to keep Benteke - and they should - perhaps they should look to bring in a couple of big names on loan. Any sign of ambitious intent would be a signal to Benteke that he isn't at a club willing to accept their downfall and they should be doing everything in their power to make that happen.
