Following the departure of Jordan Henderson from Saudi Arabia to Ajax, Arsenal have been linked with the transfer of Karim Benzema in recent weeks.
It seems that the former Liverpool captain will be the first of many players to leave the Middle East and return to Europe.
Benzema has recently had problems with his club after he delayed his return from a break, leading to speculation about his possible return to Europe.
Several reports have suggested that the Frenchman wants to leave at least until the end of this season, and the Gunners have positioned themselves to sign him.
Since Arsenal need a striker and since Benzema is one of the best in the world, it makes sense for him to move to London.
However, the striker has responded to reports that he has asked to leave Al-Ittihad, telling L’Equipe:
“It is COMPLETELY FALSE! The French media don’t know what to make of it anymore. The bigger the better.”
Benzema is a world-class striker and will immediately improve our squad if we add him.
However, it looks like it will be difficult for him to change clubs this month, so we must concentrate on other plans for now.
We will probably rely on our current options for the rest of the season, so they need all our support in the coming months.
