Crystal Palace are reportedly interesting in signing Christian Benteke's brother, Jonathan Benteke, on a free transfer.

Crystal Palace have expressed an interest in signing Christian Benteke's brother on a free transfer, according to reports.

Jonathan Benteke, 21, is currently without a club after terminating his contract with Belgian Pro League side Zulte Waregem.

Due to his status as a free agent, he can join a new club outside the transfer window and, according to The Mirror, he has been training with the Eagles looking to earn a contract.

Older brother Christian, 25, became the Selhurst Park club's record signing in August when he joined from Liverpool for £27m.
