Rush 'really happy' seeing Benteke in Liverpool Red

Published on: 01 December 2015

Liverpool legend Ian Rush is delighted with Christian Benteke's current form.

Benteke has scored three times in his last seven matches - including a brilliant strike against Bordeaux last week - having been sidelined with a hamstring problem.

Rush believes the Belgium international will get better as he gets even fitter.

"I was really happy when we signed him. He can play up front by himself, alongside someone and is a different option there and we've not had that previously," he said.

"We had (Philippe) Coutinho, (Roberto) Firmino, (Adam) Lallana and now you have Benteke and that is a good thing.

"He will get fitter and will get better and the goal he scored against Bordeaux showed what he can do."
