Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger wants to see a deal done for Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema. The Daily Star says Wenger has told Arsenal to complete the marquee signing of Benzema this summer.

The striker looks certain to leave Real Madrid this summer with Arsenal battling a host of other clubs to land him.

Reports in Spain say the Gunners have made Benzema their main priority with Wenger personally requesting the club secure his signature.

The 27-year-old French international is valued at around £35m and Arsenal are understood have an offer ready.
