Chelsea have been linked with a move for the former Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema.
The French striker has 17 goal contributions this season and he wants to return to Europe after moving to Saudi Arabia at the start of the season. A report from Teamtalk claims that Chelsea are in constant contact with Benzema regarding a possible transfer.
The 36-year-old is proven goalscorer and he could prove to be a superb acquisition for Chelsea in the attack. The Blues need a short-term option who can help them improve in the attack and finish the season strongly.
Benzema certainly fits the profile and the opportunity to showcase his qualities in the Premier League will be a tempting option for the French international.
The move to Saudi Arabia has clearly not gone according to plan for the French striker and he wants to return to Europe this month. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can convince the Saudi outfit to sanction the departure of their key star.
Benzema is a proven performer for club and country and he has been operating at a world class level for a number of seasons. He has helped Real Madrid win several major trophies during his time in Spain and he knows what it takes to play for a big club.
Benzema knows how to handle the pressure in the crucial moments and he has the experience of playing for clubs where the expectation is high.
A move to the Premier League could be an exciting opportunity for him at this stage of his career. A short term deal would be ideal for all parties and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Chelsea will need to invest in a quality young striker and signing Benzema now would allow them to do well this season and not rush into other attacking signings.
Benzema is in his twilight years but he has the quality to succeed in the Premier League and it would be a no-risk signing if Chelsea manage to secure his signature on loan.
