An early New Year's resolution has been set by Christian Benteke as the Liverpool No.9 pledges to 'do more and show more' in the final days of 2015 and the future.

Halfway through his debut season at Anfield, the Belgium international has played 17 games and struck the target five times, showing flashes of the strength and finishing prowess that made him such a feared goalscorer at Aston Villa.

As the year draws to a close, the 25-year-old can look back on 12 months that included two trips to Wembley with his former club, a summer switch to the Reds and a first strike for the team in front of the Kop.

But Benteke acknowledges he is determined to start having an even greater impact on games, with the aim of making 2016 an even more satisfying chapter of his career.

“I think it wasn’t a bad year but now I’m a Liverpool player I really want to do more and show more,” the striker told Liverpoolfc.com.

“I’m looking to finish this year well and to start really well in the New Year. I want to stay fit and healthy and try to score lots of goals for Liverpool and Belgium.”
