Aston Villa have defiantly included Christian Benteke in their kit launch teaser - despite continued interest from Liverpool and Tottenham.

The Belgian hitman has been linked with a move to Anfield throughout the summer, with speculation hotting up as the transfer window officially opens.

Tottenham are also interested.

Brendan Rodgers is desperately on the lookout for goals, having seen Daniel Sturridge miss the vast majority of last season through injury, and the Reds struggle to replace the output of Luis Suarez.

He has already added Danny Ings and Roberto Firmino to his squad, but is still in the market for a frontman, as he looks to offload out-of-favour duo Mario Balotelli and Fabio Borini.

A £25million move for Benteke has been touted, but if this promo is anything to go by, Villa fully intend to have the striker firmly in their clutches when the new season gets underway.

Benteke has 49 goals in 99 appearances since his move to Villa Park in the summer of 2012.

He struck 13 times in the Premier League last term, appearing in 28 of Villa's 38 fixtures as they narrowly escaped relegation to the Championship for the first time since the inception of top flight in its current guise.
