The race for Lyon striker Karim Benzema is heating up as reports this morning emerged that an unknown Premiership club made an offer for the France international striker.

  • Chelsea ready to pay €75m for Eduardo Camavinga
  • Chelsea planning move for Strasbourg striker Joaquin Panichelli

  • It is understood that Chelsea and Man Utd are both ready to make a move for the player, and that Benzema is the favorite replacement for the departing Cristiano Ronaldo.



    Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas quipped: "He has been approached. For the moment, I managed to convince them not to go further."



    Benzema is valued by Lyon in the region of £35 million.
