Arsene Wenger has revealed Arsenal scouted Villa’s “typical English centre-forward” and Gunners fan Christian Benteke while he was still at Genk.

Wenger reckons Belgian football is becoming a breeding ground for top players, having previously being regarded dismissively.

“We have looked at him, yes,” said Wenger. “We had already signed Olivier Giroud. It was interesting. I was surprised when he signed at Villa. I believe he has scored some important goals with complete power.

“He is a little bit a typical English centre-forward, that style has disappeared a little bit, but you still have some players like that, like Grant Holt.

“Belgium produces players. Maybe they are a championship we don’t give enough credit. We go ‘Okay, he is doing well, but he is in Belgium’.

“But look at the number of players they have produced recently: Mousa Dembele, Eden Hazard, Axel Witsel, they go all out.

Definately a place to keep our scouting tabs on.

They have also produced legends in the past such as Philip Albert! :D

I absolutely love Benteke. He is such a great player and so raw as well. Has a lot to learn, but what a great signing. He is our main man. Let's just hope he is with us for many years to come. He is probably the only player I am excited to watch each week. Keep the goals coming Bentekkkkkkkers.
