Extends Crystal Palace contract Benteke has signed a two-year contract extension with Crystal Palace.
Impact After closing this past season in form, Benteke earned another couple years on his contract. He finished with 10 goals in 30 appearances and will hope to come closer to the 15 he scored in the 2016/17 campaign. For now, he's recovering from an ankle injury ahead of the Euros.

Makes Euros on late-season push Benteke (ankle) scored 10 goals and provided one assist in 30 appearances (21 starts) this season.
Impact Benteke ended the season with an ankle injury, but scoring seven goals over the final 13 matches landed him with a safe spot on Belgium's roster for the Euros. As next season should be fun to watch if Benteke can get back to some of his excellent seasons of the past, he may not get as many opportunities to play this summer as Romelu Lukaku is much more likely to start for the national side after scoring 24 times during Inter's league-winning season.

Out for season finale Benteke (ankle) didn't make the match day roster for Sunday's finale against Liverpool.
Impact Benteke picked up a knock to his ankle in Wednesday's loss to Arsenal, and it was enough to keep him out against his former club. Jordan Ayew will be the primary striker without Benteke on offer.

Scores, leaves with knock Benteke added another goal from four shots in Wednesday's loss against Arsenal, but he left with a possible ankle issue, manager Roy Hodgson confirmed after the match.
Impact More information will be known in the coming days, but his absence would be a blow to Palace's attack for the finale, as he's scored in each of the last four matches. If he can't start on a short week, Jordan Ayew, Michy Batshuayi and Jean-Philippe Mateta will fight to enter the XI up front.

Climbs to three game streak Benteke scored once, took three shots (two on target) and created one chance during the 3-2 win against Aston Villa on Sunday.
Impact Benteke has looked in some of his best form in a long time over the past month or so. The forward seems to be rejuvenated and it shows with three goals over his past three appearances. He has also taken 15 shots and created two chances in that span. He truly hit form in the perfect time to help Palace maintain their stay once more in the top-flight. However, he will have two rather tough asks with Arsenal and Liverpool his last two opponents to finish the season.
