Newcastle linked with shock swoop for striker close to home Newcastle United are interested in Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke, according to reports in the North East media. Neil Cameron from The Chronicle writes: There is a suggestion that Newcastle are interested in Christian Benteke and Aston Villa would be willing to talk. The Magpies are on the lookout for a senior striker – having agreed a fee with Monaco for Emmanuel Riviere. Benteke struggled to impose himself at Villa Park last season – and it is believed that a deal could be done at the right price. The 23-year-old is currently out with a ruptured Achilles tendon – and missed Belgium’s World Cup campaign. The right price in this case is unlikely to be agreed upon. Villa value the frontman at £18m to £26m. Newcastle are likely to pay £12 million maximum.
