Arsenal are considering a blockbuster loan deal for Al-Ittihad striker, Karim Benzema.
However, it is understood the Gunners’ London rivals, Chelsea have also discussed a move for the Frenchman.
Benzema joined the Saudi Pro League outfit last June as a free agent after leaving Real Madrid.
However, the 36-year-old is not settled in the Middle East and is being linked with a return to European football.
Arsenal are interested in Benzema if they can get the veteran striker on a temporary deal.
