Christian Benteke has completed his £32.5million Liverpool move - but what are Liverpool getting for their money?
In his three seasons at Aston Villa, Benteke has scored 13 of his 42 league goals with his head, which is just under a third of them (31 per cent).
In the 13-14 season that ratio was even as high as 50 per cent, with five of his 10 league goals that campaign coming off the Belgian's head.
With Liverpool attempting fewer crosses than any side in the Premier League last season (471) he may therefore seem like an odd choice to revive the Reds' faltering front line.
Villa by comparison attempted 603 crosses in the league last season, 132 more than the Reds.
