Arsenal are said to be so confident of landing Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema that they have chartered a private jet and rented him a hotel room ahead of a medical with the club on Monday night, the Metro reports.
And not only that, the Gunners are hoping to unveil the France international to the crowd before the club’s meeting with Liverpool at The Emirates.
The Gunners have been heavily linked with a move for the 27-year-old all summer, and after many stop start reports, Italian journalist Emanuele Giulianelli now claims that the deal is in its final stages and that an announcement will be expected soon.
Giulianelli even claims that the striker’s arrival will be announced on the pitch before Arsenal’s game with Liverpool kicks off.
Arsenal are believed to have rented a Gulfstream private jet to accommodate Benzema on Sunday evening.
