Benzema ends talks with Wenger

Karim Benzema has reportedly made it clear to Arsene Wenger that he is no longer interested in leaving Real Madrid.

The French striker has been constantly linked with a switch to north London but there have been no signs of the transfer coming to fruition.

According to Spanish radio COPE, the 27-year-old has held several conversations with Arsene Wenger over a potential move to Arsenal.

However, the same report – spearheaded by journalist Paco Gonzalez – suggests that Benzema has told the Gunners boss he is happy to remain at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Any move for Benzema could harm Giroud’s first team chances

Wenger is known to have been an admirer of the former Lyon star for a long time but it would require a remarkable effort to prize Benzema away from Madrid as things stand.

Arsenal’s main options of a centre-forward ahead of the new season includes Olivier Giroud, Danny Welbeck, Chuba Akpom and Yaya Sanogo.

Thank God, benzema didn’t sign for us, for hearing this great news am very happy. Because benzema is not the type of striker we need and, that can lead “ARSENAL FOOTBALL CLUB” to promised land. We need a striker that with goal scoring experience, a striker that can score 30 to 40 goal in a season. With the caliber of players with have in our mid-field, if we can sign an experience striker join with our mid-fielders they will create the goal for him to score. We need a player like “Lacazette or eduado vergas” this two striker will gave us 35 goals or more in a season. Wenger should pls go for either one of this striker I made mention off. They will lead us to promised land and, win us the cup we are dreaming of for the pass 10yrs. They will surely win champions league for us too, if we sign them.
Arsenal is my life and, that is why I care for them everyday of my life and,I really love the club, that is why am eager to see them winning premier league and champions league. And, an very sure they will win it. “Go GUNNERS, LET KILL THEM ALL THIS SEASON”. With the help of new striker signing will can go on and, make another history by go on a full season unbeaten run again. GUNNERS TILL I DIE.
