Benzema fuels Arsenal move rumors – what’s behind it?

Karim Benzema, Al-Ittihad's celebrated striker, is causing a stir with an Instagram post that fuels rumors of a possible move to Arsenal. In the video, the 34-year-old can be seen wearing Arsenal player Dennis Bergkamp's iconic jersey, while also wearing a designer Versace shirt. This action was sparked by Rio Ferdinand, the former Manchester United defender, who advised Mikel Arteta to sign Benzema given the injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, like Krone.at reported. Benzema commented on his post with the words: “Popcorn for everyone,” which raises questions about whether we have seen the first hint of the next chapter in his remarkable career.

Benzema's impressive form

The discussion surrounding Benzema as a potential Arsenal signing sheds light on his remarkable performance this season. Ferdinand, who acted as a pundit during Real Madrid's game against Chelsea, described Benzema as "the best centre-forward in the world". Benzema recently scored a hat-trick and has scored a total of 37 goals in all competitions this season, which is his best tally of the season. His role at Real Madrid has changed since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2018 and he now shines as the team's main player. Ferdinand praised: “He has retreated from the shadows, and now he is the talisman,” reported SI.com.

Benzema's development from a supporting player to a dominant striker highlights his impressive ability on the pitch and supports Ferdinand's assessment. Recent observations from other experts confirm that Benzema is getting better with every game and his movements on the field are intelligent and effective. This combination of experience and talent makes him one of the most sought-after players in modern football.
