Benzema open to English move
-
Lyon's hot-property Karim Benzema appears to have changed his mind, as the striker has now declared moving to England is an option for him.
The precocious attacker is seen as the future of French football, and his performances with seven-time champions OL last season, particularly against Manchester United in the Champions League, made him one of the most in-demand players around.
The 20-year-old, who has already scored twice in two games this term, has a career plan to lift up the Ballon d’Or trophy, and reckons he will have to move abroad to achieve his aim.
After declaring recently that moving to The Premier League was not one of his objectives, as he prefers La Liga and Serie A, Benzema has made a drastic U-turn.
“Real Madrid? Why not. But they are not the only club that could suit me,” Benzema told French magazine Sport.
“I don’t know the date of my departure neither my future destination. England, Spain, Italy, everything is possible.”
He added that: “Some people think I’m an arrogant and insensitive to the pressure. But my strength is that I know where I’m going to.
“I want to win the Ballon d’Or and, to achieve this, I need to win club titles and with France. When I speak about titles I mean the Champions League. Reaching the quarter finals or the semi-finals is not enough.
“That’s why I’ll need to play for a club that will offer me the chance to win it.”

Fergie shld buy him and Berbatov...and off load that sickpot - Saha. Berbatov is already 27...not much time before he shld be offloaded too. Benzema is the future ! He and Rooney will be good as gold up front supported by Nani and another young winger. I discounted Ronaldo because I think he is going to leave after this season. Like that, Man U will be very formidable.
