“I need only one assurance before i join Chelsea”- Karim Benzema makes critical January transfer to Chelsea as the French Balon D’Or winner admits he is only interested in playing at the Premier League on ‘ONE CONDITION
Until a decision on Karim Benzema’s future at Al-Ittihad is made, he will be the main topic of news. The 36-year-old, who joined the Saudi team at the beginning of June, has scored goals for his new team frequently, but he is reportedly not pleased there.
As a result, clubs are now considering signing him during the January transfer window. Arsenal and Chelsea have both been linked to a deal for the Frenchman. Both teams are in desperate need of additional offensive firepower, and Benzema would undoubtedly provide it if he could settle into English culture and maintain the weekly form he showed at Real Madrid.
However, considering the enormous salary the former Lyon player is presently receiving at Al-Ittihad, a deal for him would be quite expensive. So, in the remaining games of the season, would Mauricio Pochettino and Chelsea be better off making a temporary move?
In an effort to alleviate Chelsea’s consistency issues and provide Chelsea supporters with something to shout about between now and May, we asked our football writers at football.london for their opinions on whether Todd Boehly should approve a transfer for Benzema.
Someone other than Cole Palmer who can put the ball in the net is desperately needed by Chelsea. It’s obvious how dependent they are on the former Manchester City player.
