Liverpool striker Christian Benteke has been handed the No 9 shirt ahead of the new season. Belgium international Benteke made the move to Anfield from Aston Villa for £32.5m and made an immediate impact on his debut at the weekend. The 24-year-old scored a superb volley in the 2-1 win over Swindon at the County Ground on Sunday and will now be given the same shirt number previously worn by the likes of Ian Rush, Robbie Fowler, Ian St John and Fernando Torres.
