Karim Benzema and Arsenal have shared the most long-distance of relationships having never crossed paths either via a transfer or a competitive match and yet having been discussed in the same circles for many years. Benzema did face Arsenal in a pre-season friendly in America in 2019 but notoriously has been linked with a move many campaigns ago for a number of successive summers but nothing materialised.
However, finally, his next transfer could indeed have an impact on the Gunners. That said, for those hoping it’s to see him arrive at the carpet I am sorry but you will be disappointed.
Benzema reportedly is receiving significant interest from Saudi Arabia. ESPN have suggested that he will leave and join Al Ittihad, making the trip former Los Blancos teammate Cristiano Ronaldo made when he made his switch to Al Nassr.
