1. Benzema deal is on
Celebrity supporter and shareholder Piers Morgan seems to have some inside knowledge on Arsenal’s pursuit of the Real Madrid striker. According to Morgan, while reports yesterday claimed that a deal for Benzema would be wrapped up on Friday, this isn’t the case; however, talks have reached an ‘advanced’ stage.
I’m hearing Benzema to Arsenal deal is ON. Not done, but talks advanced. #afc
