Arsenal have just started talks to sign a striker who Mesut Ozil compared to the Brazilian Ronaldo

Arsenal are reportedly engaging in discussions with Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad and Karim Benzema's agents regarding a potential transfer this month.

Despite joining Al-Ittihad last summer, Benzema is reportedly seeking an exit from the Saudi Pro League. French striker has attracted interest from several European clubs, including Manchester United, Lyon, and Arsenal.

The Gunners are said to be in talks with both Benzema's representatives and Al-Ittihad for a potential move in the coming days. The player and the Saudi club's leadership are set to hold a meeting to determine the definitive decision on his future.

Despite a successful stint at Al-Ittihad with 12 goals in six months, Benzema appears eager for a change. His former teammate and Arsenal icon Mesut Ozil has previous shared his feelings about the French professional. 

He told Arsenal’s YouTube channel in 2020: “I know him as a person, he’s a really, really good person. I really enjoyed the time to play with him together.

“I know he’s one of the best strikers. He’s like, let’s say, the Brazilian Ronaldo. He’s so good with the ball, in front of the goal.”
