LONDON, Aug 20: Christian Benteke has ended his disappointing spell at Liverpool by signing for rival Premier League club Crystal Palace.


The Belgium striker moved to Liverpool from Aston Villa for 32 million pounds (then $50 million) in July last year, but was never a regular and scored 10 goals in 42 appearances.
