Arsenal have reportedly hired a private jet to bring Karim Benzema to London on Monday, according to the Daily Star on Sunday.

Benzema has been linked again and again with a switch to the Emirates, with new reports suggesting that he will complete his move and be announced on Monday.

The Frenchman would be announced and unveiled prior to the Gunners' game with the Emirates.

It comes less than a week after former pro Rodney Marsh claimed that a bid for Benzema had been accepted, as per a friend of his who is 'rarely wrong'.
