Christian Benteke has signed a two-year contract extension with Crystal Palace.
The Belgium international, who joined the Premier League side for a club record fee five years ago, netted 10 goals from 30 appearances last season.
“I’m happy and proud to commit my future to Crystal Palace," Benteke said of his new deal. "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.
“I used to play most of the time with just myself up-front. When you play with someone else, you can’t just be doing our own thing and him doing his thing, because it won’t work for the team."

Palace 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.
"He is an outstanding professional and has more than proven that he still has the quality and the hunger to perform for our club at the highest level, and I couldn’t be happier to see him in red and blue for another two seasons.”
