Arsenal transfers: Karim Benzema to complete Gunners move, claims presenter
Jeinny Lizarazo has been informed that Arsenal are pressing ahead with their reported bid to sign Karim Benzema
Karim Benzema was jetting into London to completed his reported transfer to Arsenal from Real Madrid on Sunday afternoon, according to Venezuelan model and football presenter Jeinny Lizarazo.
The north London side, who slumped to a surprise 2-0 loss to West Ham United in their opening Premier League game at Emirates Stadium on Sunday, have been heavily linked with a big-money bid for the France international in recent days.
Despite the speculation, manager Arsene Wenger has denied that the Gunners are in the market to sign the 27-year-old.
However, Lizarazo took to Twitter on Sunday morning to reveal that one of her sources had informed her that Arsenal seem to be pressing ahead with their reported plans to sign Benzema before the close of the transfer window.
She tweeted:
Well…JUST IN…first time one of my sources confirmed the rumor that the plan is Benzema coming to London today for medical…let's see

However, Lizarazo, who is a big Real Madrid supported, then later added that she personally doubted the report.
She added later on in the morning:
Unbelievable…I will repeat…first time ONE of my sources…told me about the plan was for today..but I doubt it https://t.co/86360PMTkc

Now the reason why I personally doubt it today…because I can't imagine Benzema news coming out FIRST before we say who is coming here…
