Arsenal’s stance on Benzema transfer revealed

Reports indicate that Arsenal won’t be pursuing the signing of Karim Benzema in the January transfer window.

While Mikel Arteta aims to secure a new striker, Financial Fair Play constraints limit Arsenal’s activity in the transfer market.

Despite joining Al-Ittihad in June last year, Benzema, who has spent only seven months in the Saudi Pro League, is now seeking a move elsewhere.

Both Arsenal and Chelsea have been associated with a potential move for the Real Madrid striker this month.

However, Fabrizio Romano firmly asserts that Arsenal has not initiated any approach for the 36-year-old.

‘In the last 48 hours I’ve received many questions from Arsenal fans asking about Karim Benzema and Arsenal,’ Romano said on his YouTube channel.

‘From what I’m hearing, again today, there is nothing on going between Karim Benzema and Arsenal.

‘If something is going to change in the next days, if Arsenal will decide to sign Benzema I will be more than happy to let you know.

‘But as of today, Arsenal are not working on a deal to sign Karim Benzema, it is simply not true.

‘That’s the reality, I don’t want to sell you dreams. I know that the name of Benzema is exciting many fans around the world but as of today, from what I’m hearing, Arsenal are not working on this deal.

‘In the next days the situation between Benzema and Al-Ittihad remains very tense, it’s going to be one to watch in general but from what I’m hearing it’s not something concrete with Arsenal.’
