Arsenal target Karim Benzema turns down possibility of moving to the Emirates
Arsenal target, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, seems to be seeing his future a whole lot differently.
The twenty three year old has had his ups and downs with Madrid manager, Jose Mourinho and these constant lapses in their relationship, caused him to be linked with a move away from the club.
Nonetheless, despite that fact, it seems like the French international is more inclined to trying his luck with Madrid, then making a move to the Emirates.
The striker, when talking about his future and the possibility of making a move away from the Spanish side is quoted to have said:"My place is at this club"
"I have never talked to Mr Wenger or anyone else.”
The forward then went on to express his belief in his sides ability to win big next season, as he ended by adding: "I want to enjoy success here. I have found my self-belief. This season, I know we will win titles."
Arsenal were being linked with a move to land Benzema, in order to resolve their striker crisis. The team currently heavily rely on the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380, who is easily one of the best in the world at what he does. However, there is a major downside
to having the Dutch international in the team. For all the goals and wonders that Van Persie creates on the pitch, he spends an awful lot of time on the sidelines, in order to recover from his injuries. Van Persie seems to have the ability to get injured almost
every other game and this has caused massive hindrances in Arsenal’s progress.
It appeared as though the Gunners had finally had enough of the strikers problems, as they began their hunt to try and land a number of strikers. In the end, their search brought them down to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gervinho-c14755 and Benzema. With Gervinho now already being signed by
the Gunners and Benzema turning down the offer, it seems like the team will have to settle for one out of two in this case.
Nonetheless, despite that fact, it seems like Arsenal might have gotten the better offer. Gervinho not only cost the team a whole lot less, when compared to the price that Benzema was going to be put up for, but he has proven in the pre-season, that he has
the perfect set of skills, to embed the Arsenal DNA into his game.
All in all, Benzema turning down Arsenal, seems to be a win for the Gunners on the long run.
