Lyon want to keep duo

Lyon duo Hatem Ben Arfa and Karim Benzema will be staying at the club. The club president Aulas has confirmed that Sir Alex Ferguson has inquired for the pair, in a potential £40 million deal.

"I told Sir Alex that Benzema and Ben Arfa will not leave in the next two years," Aulas is quoted in The Sun.

"We want to build our future on them.

"If he wants to exchange Cristiano Ronaldo for Ben Arfa we could talk about it, but they would have to also give us a bit of money."
