'Bigger, the better': Karim Benzema finally breaks silence on Arsenal transfer links

Karim Benzema continues to be linked with a slew of top European sides as his spell at Al Ittihad appears to be ending.

Benzema has scored 12 goals in 20 games since joining the Saudi Pro League side last summer. However, he could reportedly end up leaving as he's 'unhappy' with his new surroundings.

That's according to several outlets, who claim Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea are interested in the 36-year-old this month.

However, the former Real Madrid striker has quashed all claims during an interview with L'Equipe.

When asked if he's moving to a European side this winter, Benzema said: "It's completely false!

"The French media don't know what to invent anymore. The bigger [claim], the better."
