    Christian Benteke has remained tight-lipped over his Aston Villa future but insisted he knows what he wants.

    The striker has offered no promises he will stay at Villa after the summer following his stunning end-of-season form.

    He has been linked with a move to Liverpool and has a £32.5m release fee clause in his contract, with agent Eris Kismet reportedly saying the Belgium international is keen to play for a club in Europe.

    "It's about him (Kismet), he knows what I want and I'll let him do the job," said the 24-year-old. "I don't think about Aston Villa now. I did my season with Villa and now I am focused with the national team."

    Emmet Masterson: Lee Westwood. For a former world number one who's won all over the world, no Players, WGC title or major is a huge underachievement.

    Luke Martin: Has to be Bebe for Man Utd. Bought for £7m and I could count the number of times he played on one hand.

    IBF world welterweight champion Kell Brook says Amir Khan is "running scared" of fighting him and has accused his fellow Brit of trying to "jump the queue" to fight Floyd Mayweather.

    "There would be no bigger fight domestically," Brook told Sky Sports. "Khan has to be running scared."

    "He has no right to fight Mayweather. He has stepped up to welterweight but not fought a fully-fledged fighter yet. I am told he was rubbish in his last fight. Mayweather should be fighting me, I am the world champion and I am not sure why Khan is trying to jump the queue."

    Formula 1 is changing. The sport's bosses are in the process of creating new rules aimed at ensuring the cars that race in 2017 will be the fastest ever.

    The motivation for this has been concerns that F1 is losing its appeal, a belief created by falling television figures last year in some important markets, such as Germany and Italy.

    So why is F1 taking the decisions it is, and what difference will they make?
