Real Madrid consider new striker amid Benzema doubts

Real Madrid chiefs are weighing up buying a new striker this week.

AS says Real are concerned with the lack of goals coming from Karim Benzema.

For the Supercup, the France striker failed to create a single clear-cut chance during 180 minutes of football and he mustered just a single shot, which failed to hit the target.

For his part, Real coach Carlo Ancelotti has defended Benzema.

"I am very happy with Benzema and we don't need another option," said Ancelotti.

However, in the corridors of power at the Bernabéu the search for another forward to provide some competition for Benzema is being considered.
