Arsenal Transfer News: Karim Benzema £48m Bid Accepted, Bruno Soriano Rumours

Real Madrid have allegedly accepted a £48 million bid from Arsenal for Karim Benzema, according to a prominent pundit on UK radio.

Rodney Marsh told TalkSport on Wednesday's late night football show The Sports Bar that one of his trusted sources had revealed the deal to him:

"I had a phone call from a mate of mine, and he’s been right on many things, and he said that he believes Real Madrid have accepted a bid somewhere in the region of £48million for [Karim] Benzema from Arsenal. In the past this guy has always been right, he’s never been wrong yet, so we’ll have to wait and see.
