Arsenal’s pursuit of a top-striker appears set to take a positive twist,
after recent reports indicate that Real Madrid forward and Arsene
Wenger’s first-choice striker target, Karim Benzema has subtly been
given the green light to accede to an offer of a transfer away from the
club.
While the Madrid club currently undergo pre-season training, coach
Rafael Benitez looks to have rekindled the flame of Jese Rodriguez, and
has allegedly publicly expressed his intentions to offer the 22 year-old
player a regular striker role in the 2015/2016 season. Having suffered a
knee injury earlier this year, the player saw a quick recuperation met
with a rich vein of form- which he has carried into the Madrid club’s
pre-season training tour, scoring one beautiful goal in the 3-nil win
over Inter Milan in a friendly recently.
He had initially been linked with a move to Chelsea, but the arrival of
Boss Rafa Benitez seems to have settled doubts about his future. “I’ve
never wanted to leave. I’m very grateful to the Coach for counting on
me”, he said.
As
it stands, with Benitez set to offer him a regular striker role, it
appears that Karim Benzema is now indeed close to the Madrid exit door-
where we reportedly have Arsene Wenger standing alert, in order to take
him to the Emirates stadium on a permanent basis. His eventual departure
may also afford Madrid the chance to sign long-time target, Marco Reus
from Borussia Dortmund.
