Kenny Sansom comments on Crystal Palace trio Christian Benteke, Wilfried Zaha and Connor Wickham.

Wilfried Zaha of Palace is challenged by Oxford defender Rob Dickieat Kassam Stadium on July 21, 2018 in Oxford, England.

Kenny Sansom has given his take on Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke on social networking site Twitter.

The former Palace left-back has not been too impressed with the performances of Benteke for the Eagles so far this season.

The 27-year-old former Aston Villa and Liverpool striker – who is on the sidelines at the moment with a knee injury and will not be back in action until 2019, according to The London Evening Standard – has not scored in four Premier League appearances so far this season.

During the 2017-18 campaign, the Belgium international striker scored three goals and provided five assists in 24 Championship starts for Palace, according to WhoScored.

Sansom has also given his take on 25-year-old Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, and is also pleased to have Connor Wickham back from injury for the Eagles.

The 25-year-old – who can operate as a striker or as a winger and earns £60,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – is back from a spell on the sidelines and is available for Roy Hodgson’s side.
