WORLD CLASS striker open to Arsenal move?

France international Karim Benzema is apparently open to the possibility of leaving Real Madrid for Arsenal during the summer transfer window.

The talented marksman was recently linked with a move to the Emirates, until manager Arsene Wenger ruled out any chances of that happening.

However, it is understood that forward is concerned for his spot next season, with new Los Blancos boss Rafael Benitez leaning towards Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale as his main strike partnership.

According to El Confidencial, that the former Lyon star has not made a transfer request, but would be open to the prospect of joining a Premier League club this summer.
