Is Arsenal about to sign Benzema today [READ]

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema seems prepared to take his footballing career to the Emirates stadium in a £35 million deal according to Express

The Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has been tracking Benzema for quite sometime now and it may be possible that the 27-year-old will unite with his countryman

Benzema joined Real Madrid from Lyon in 2009 and has been the Los Blancos top 9 despite speculations. The Frenchman made 29 La-liga appearances last season and bagged 15 goals.

Although Benzema's signed a new five year contract in August last year which would end in 2019, it seem rather unlikely he would remain at the Bernabue until that time.
