Chelsea not interested in Liverpool striker (but do want these three players)
CHELSEA are reportedly NOT interested in Christian Benteke – but do have a shortlist of three top strikers.
Benteke could leave Liverpool this summer but not for Stamford Bridge
Benteke signed for Liverpool in £32.5million switch from Aston Villa last summer.
However, the Belgium international has struggled to nail down a spot in the first team or stay fit for an extended period of time.
Of his 29 league appearances, 15 have come from the bench and he has been on the end of several public dressings-down from Jurgen Klopp after games.
Meanwhile Morata has a buy-back clause which would allow Real Madrid to buy him for just £23.6m.
And Madrid are then thought to be planning on selling the player on to the highest bidder with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all said to hold an interest in his services.
