Karim Benzema is Real Madrid’s top scorer since Ancelotti’s arrival. The Frenchman is on par with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring 6 goals,Having scored 100 goals for los galacticos ever since signing from Lyon for an undisclosed fee.

He’s being chased by Arsene Wenger as Arsenal are preparing to launch a 3 day shopping spree .

Benzema has emerged as Wenger’s priority signing and, following an initial inquiry to Real Madrid, there is growing confidence that a £40 million bid would be enough to secure the France striker.

Benzema’s ability to link the play and operate as a lone central striker has made him a long-term target of Wenger and, with Madrid close to completing the world-record transfer of Gareth Bale, there is a sense that they are prepared to make major sales.
