Are you one of those who had been expecting to
see a top striker at Arsenal this summer? Were
you totally convinced that Arsene Wenger will
succeed in getting Karim Benzema from Real
Madrid? If ‘yes’, then I have to tell you
something but before I do, I will advise you to
pick a glass of cold water and pour it down your
throat before going on. Calm down!
It has finally been agreed by Arsenal and the
occupants of the Santiago Bernabeu. I mean a
compromise has been reached. The two sides
have agreed that the transfer of Benzema to the
Emirates Stadium could happen some other time
which will definitely not be this summer. Sorry
to break your heart.
The Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger has made it
clear that the French striker will be difficult to
get as the Spanish giants do not want to sell
him at the moment and also because he is still
under contract at his current club.
Benzema who has been seriously linked with a
move to London during this transfer window has
committed his future to the club and wishes to
remain at the Spanish capital, Madrid.
Speaking to reporters after Liverpool held his
side to a 0-0 draw on Monday night, Arsene
Wenger stated that news claiming that Benzema
will soon join the Gunners are all false.
“That story is dead. That story has always been
created every week. When a player has a
contract, it’s the club that decides,” he said.
“Real Madrid have said many times they don’t
want to sell him. It’s the same for us when we
have a player under contract.”
Since we now know that we can no longer get
Benzema, let’s just zero our mind as if we will
not sign anyone else. If any new player comes,
it’s all good and if none is signed, there is
nothing more we can do than back the ones we
have. We also have to pray for less or no long
term injuries. Cavani? That transfer doesn’t
seem likely too.
