Benzema wants Arsenal switch

Karim Benzema is interested in writing Real Madrid for Premier League giants Arsenal, according to reports. 

Benzema has been linked the Gunners as they are desperately looking for a world-class attacker to replace Alexis Sanchez who wants to leave the club.

Arsenal failed to follow up their initial interest, though, and Benzema has since featured five times for Madrid in all competitions this season.

However, Spanish outlet Don Balon reports that the 29-year-old has his sights set on a move to North London should Arsene Wenger retain an interest next year.

Benzema, who has scored 171 goals in 330 appearances for Los Blancos since joining from Lyon in 2009, is currently facing a spell on the sidelines through injury.
