One of the most hyped and discussed potential transfers of the summer (that didn't involve Manchester United) is off with Karim Benzema ruling out a move away from Real Madrid.
The France international has been rumoured to be a long term target of Arsenal, and earlier this summer caused a right kerfuffle when he tweeted from an airplane that
set the internet on fire.
But alas it appears that the striker has no intention of leaving Spain, with Benzema calling anyone who dares to say otherwise a clown.
Steady on, Karim. What did we ever do to you?

One person who is most definitely not a clown then is a Venezuelan model by the name of Jeinny Lizarazo, who claims that she knows exactly why Benzema won't be on the move.
She previously claimed that she would accept a punishment if the player did move to Arsenal, but has rowed back on that claim – instead deciding to reveal the 'real' reason for the transfer not going through.
(P.S – If this is true then we're going to tap up Glenda Gilson and Holly Carpenter for our transfer news in future.)

How nice of her to think of me and you, the great unwashed public in all this.

She's pure sound isn't she?

Not a hint of seeking publicity about this at all. Not. One. Bit.
