Karim Benzema has been spotted in LONDON today as he prepares to sign a six-month loan contract with Arsenal. There is excitement at LONDON Colney as fans anticipate the arrival of the Ballon d’ior winner.
Arsenal is in search of a prominent center-forward this month to boost their chances of securing the Premier League title. Despite the unlikelihood of acquiring Brentford’s Ivan Toney due to a high price tag and his commitment to staying with the Bees, the Gunners face challenges in pursuing other targets like Borja Mayoral of Getafe and Joshua Zirkzee of Bologna, who comes with a hefty £50 million price tag.
Considering Financial Fair Play, Arsenal might prefer a loan deal, making Al-Ittihad’s Karim Benzema an appealing option. The striker is reportedly unhappy in the Saudi Pro League, drawing interest from Real Madrid, Lyon, and Manchester United for a potential loan move.
Benzema’s impressive performance with Real Madrid last season, contributing 31 goals and six assists in 43 appearances, along with his continued success at Al-Ittihad, accumulating 12 goals and five assists, makes him a compelling choice for the Gunners. Despite longstanding links between Benzema and Arsenal, now could be an opportune moment to secure the Frenchman, ideally through a short-term agreement until the season concludes.
