Don Balon are usually talking up the exit of Tottenham players. Whether it be Harry Kane or Dele Alli, the Spanish rumour website are continually sending them to Real Madrid and Barcelona.
But Don Balon don’t limit their imagination to who could be leaving Tottenham in the summer transfer window, they’re also quite creative when it comes to who could be arriving.
Karim Benzema hasn’t had the best of seasons and at Real Madrid that leads to automatic chatter about an impending exit. It’s claimed Tottenham are willing to make a move for the Frenchman, along with their London rivals Chelsea.
And, as if that weren’t enough imagination, a certain Cristiano Ronaldo is personally backing Benzema’s potential move to England, telling his teammate ‘the best option is the Premier League’ for the rest of his career.
Sure, Benzema wouldn’t be a bad back-up to Kane, but the 30 year old is hardly likely to want to sit on the bench, regardless of how wonderful the benches at Tottenham’s new stadium are going to be.
Over the past few weeks, Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and West Ham (Yes, West Ham) are among the English clubs to have been linked with Benzema.
