Karim Benzema rules out Arsenal move

France international Karim Benzema has ruled out the possibility of joining Premier League side Arsenal in the transfer window.

The talented striker has been rumoured to be considering his future at the Bernabeu in recent weeks, with new manager Rafael Benitez eager to play Gareth Bale ahead of him for the centre-forward role.

However, the former Lyon star has dismissed claims by insisting that Real Madrid remains his home via a twitter post.

"For all those clowns who want to make believe things at my fans. Here this is my home ! " the tweet read.

Benzema is currently recovering from a thigh injury suffered during pre-season.
