Everton, Sunderland interested in Liverpool striker Christian Benteke?

Everton and Sunderland are reportedly in the running for Liverpool striker Christian Benteke.

The Belgium international has struggled to make his mark at Anfield since signing for the club in a £32m deal from Aston Villa last year.

Following Jurgen Klopp's arrival as manager in October, Benteke fell behind Daniel Sturridge and Divock Origi in the pecking order.

According to The Mirror, new Sunderland boss David Moyes has put Benteke at the top of his striker wishlist, while Liverpool's Merseyside rivals Everton are planning to make a bid if Chelsea end up signing their forward Romelu Lukaku.

The report adds that Liverpool will not consider selling unless a club meets their £30m asking price.
