Arsenal has been linked with a move for Karim Benzema in recent weeks following Jordan Henderson’s departure from Saudi Arabia to Ajax.
It appears that the former Liverpool captain will be the first of many players to leave the Middle East and return to Europe.
Benzema recently encountered issues with his club after delaying his return from a break, leading to speculation about his potential return to Europe.
Several reports have suggested that the Frenchman desires a move away for at least the remainder of this season, and the Gunners have positioned themselves to sign him.
With Arsenal in need of a striker, and considering Benzema’s status as one of the best in the world, it makes sense that he could make a move to London.
However, the striker has responded to the reports that he asked to leave Al-Ittihad and told L’Equipe:
“It’s completely false! The French media don’t know what to invent any more. The bigger the better.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Benzema is a world-renowned striker and will instantly improve our group if we add him to it.
However, it seems difficult for him to change clubs this month, and we have to focus on other plans for now.
We probably will rely on our current options for the rest of the season, so they need all our support in the coming months.

This does not suprise surprise me @ all as i never believed Benzema would leave. With his salary @ €100m per year i think, it would be madness to jump ship.
The narrative as i thought and confirmed by Benzema, was cooked up by media outlets. The reason why Henderson had a change in heart i believe was largely due to the backlash from so called human right groups in England.
Speculation that more players will follow Henderson i also believe is untrue & unfounded. The Arab-League is here to stay & is slowly eating away @ the dominance UEFA has enjoyed. The recent court ruling curbing UEFA’s monopoly has confirmed this. Next up would be the SUPER LEAGUE that will hammer the final nail in UEFA’s demise.
Bang Bang, Are you a SAUDI yourself or perhaps a Saudi government appointed agent!!
It seems pointless me pointing out to YOU that until SAUDI can attact decent crowds for its games, which right now are lamentably low, their league has NO chance of establishing itself as ANY sort of challenge to PROPER, FAN INTERESTED European leagues and esp that world Titan, the DOMINATING PREMIER LEAGUE.
Face facts; the SAUDI LEAGUE, without tainted oil money, is nothing at all and is very likely to remain so for a great many years ahead too.
Its nowt but a minnow , sunshine!
And a country whose government is still Neanderthal, will never attract PROPER AND TOP LEVEL PLAYERS IN THEIR PRIME,UNTIL THE NEANDERTHALS IN CHARGE OF THAT BACKWARD, GOD FORSAKEN COUNTRY, ADOPT HUMANE VALUES.
Yes, it will atttract a few Henderson type washed up older players, playing out the dog days of their careers for tainted WAGES.
But even HENDERSON soon saw his mistake and wanted out. Unsurprisingly!
He should be allowed to enjoy his time over the hill in a lest competitive league.
