Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is believed to have made a phone call to Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema to discuss over a possible summer move to the Emirates.

The France international has been a consistent performer for the Capital outfit in recent seasons. However, he has struggled to make a clear impression among the club's faithful, and has been tipped to exit the Bernabeu during the summer transfer window. The Gunners have had long-term interest in the France international and The Mirror cites that Arsene Wenger made a personal phone call to his countryman over the possibility of swapping clubs this summer.
