Transfer Rumors: Karim Benzema

Karim Benzema transfer to Arsenal is a possibility according to betting houses. The information published by the leading European newspapers and the front page of Diario AS has also had an impact on the betting market. Paddy Power, a well-known British betting house, was offering €5 for every euro bet on the transfer of the French player to Arsenal. However, as of today, the same bet is paid at €2.1 for every euro bet.

Arsenal has €65 million to sign Benzema, who is French, just like Arsene Wenger. The coach admits that a player of his quality is a priority for the gunners but recognizes that the operation is complicated: "There is a thousand percent chance he will continue at Real Madrid". Wenger repeated the statement that the player's agent had already made.
