Real Madrid Transfer News: Latest on Karim Benzema and Lucas Silva Rumours

Real Madrid look set to be plundered by Premier League giants Arsenal after separate rumours surfaced the London club will sign Karim Benzema and Lucas Silva.

Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mail writes the Gunners are prepared to smash their transfer record to land the French striker—paying in excess of the £42.5 million they spent on the capture of former Galactico player Mesut Ozil.

Mokbel says Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger "has been given the all clear" to purchase the Los Blancos attacker, making him the Emirates club's highest earner.
