Man City, Chelsea tracking Arsenal target

Manchester City and Chelsea are reportedly keeping tabs on unsettled Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema.

The France international had been strongly linked with a move to Arsenal in the summer, in spite of the player not being keen on a transfer.

However, Benzema's stance has changed in recent months following his alleged involvement in the Mathieu Valbuena blackmail case.

According to The Mirror, the former Lyon star has revealed his willingness to make way from La Liga following his recent troubles.

It is added that Citizens and Blues are closely monitoring the player's developments ahead of the winter transfer window.

Benzema is currently valued at around £40m.
