Real Madrid striker Karim Benzena has supposedly flown in to London to undergo a medical with Arsenal, with his agent being at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday to wrap up a deal, according to the Daily Star.

The Premier League side have been strongly linked with the French international this summer, first with AS reporting earlier this month that Arsène Wenger was keen to make a £46 million bid for the 27-year-old.

Unreliable Italian journalist Emanuele Giulianelli was then quoted by the Daily Star saying that Karim Benzema had agreed a four-year contract worth around £6.3-per-season in North London.

More interesting developments have broken since Arsenal’s 2-0 loss at home to West Ham on Sunday, with the Daily Star citing ESPN presenter and long-time Real Madrid fan, Jeinny Lizarazo, claiming that the striker was due to fly-in to London this weekend for his medical with Arsenal.
