The striker who has been heavily linked to Arsenal in recent months has been the subject of a rejected £30.3million bid from Arsenal last week.
Recent reports however, indicate odds on Benzema moving to the Emirates this summer have been placed at 11/10 this week from 7/2 last week on Sky Bet.
The latest development was due to reports of the Gunners reportedly preparing to return to Madrid with an improved bid of £40million.
The 27-year-old Frenchman sent a cryptic message via his account on popular social media outlet Instagram this week, further sparking rumors of his move to Arsenal.
“let’s leave the past behind. #towards the future.” Benzema said via his Instagram account.
Arsene Wenger is keen on adding a World class forward to his ranks this summer and the former Lyon man adequately fits the bill.
