Christian Benteke agent plays down exit talk

Christian Benteke's agent plays down speculation linking the striker with a move away from Aston Villa.

Christian Benteke's agent has described speculation over the Aston Villa striker's future as a "distraction".

The Belgium international has scored nine goals in his last eight games for struggling Villa, leading to reported interest from the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United.

However, Eris Kismet has insisted that the 24-year-old is only focusing on helping his club out of trouble.

"At the moment, there is no interest," he told Sky Sports News. "Every player and staff member is concentrated on avoiding relegation, anything else is just a distraction.

"I know everyone wants the same thing because I watch the games and I think Aston Villa are playing the best football in England right now."

Benteke's current contract at Villa Park is due to expire in 2017.
