Amid all the speculation and the rumours – former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has warned the likes of CHELSEA about trying to get a deal done for the Frenchman.
Speaking to Compare.bet, Emmanuel Petit said: “What’s the price for Benzema? Do you have any idea how much Benzema will be earning in Saudi? I don’t think any English club will be able to offer him the same amount of money.
“It’s Benzema’s choice if he comes back but after winning everything with Real Madrid and being 34-years-old, I don’t think he will want to come to the Premier League, it’s so physical, it’s so mentally hard, it’s not La Liga.
“With all the respect for him, he played for probably the biggest club in the world with great success, but it’s not the Premier League. I’m not confident Arsenal should go to Benzema, they should go for someone else.”
