Arsenal boss says 'NO' to BIG DEAL

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted that the club have not made a move for a new striker during the summer transfer window.

The Gunners have been recently rumoured to be closing in on a £35m deal for Real Madrid star Karim Benzema.

However, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has reiterated that he has never asked the club's hierarchy to hold talks with the France international, and the story has been made up by the media.

Benzema's future has been the subject of speculation in recent weeks, with new Real boss Rafael Benitez wanting Gareth Bale to fill the centre-forward role for the upcoming campaign.
