Aston Villa are reportedly prepared to reject offers of up to £30m for striker Christian Benteke this summer.

The Belgian's performances in his debut season in England have seen him linked with a host of clubs in recent weeks, including Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Liverpool.

However, owner Randy Lerner and manager Paul Lambert have discussed the situation and have decided that they will not consider any bids that fall below the £30m mark, according to the Birmingham Mail.

Benteke took his tally to 22 goals for the season by scoring a hat-trick during Monday night's 6-1 win over Sunderland at Villa Park.
