New Liverpool striker Christian Benteke has turned to a mental coach to help him adjust to life at one of the world's biggest clubs.

Benteke, 24, is under huge pressure at Anfield to live up to the £32 million fee that the Reds paid to bring him in from Aston Villa.

The Belgium international has scored just once for his new club, but had enlisted the help of Michel Bruyninckx, a mental coach who has a reputation for aiding the development of many of Belgium's current crop of stars.

"When he was a boy in Belgium, he changed regularly from one club to another, because he only had one profile -- as a physically strong player," Bruyninckx told the Mirror.
