Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger rubbishes rumours about a move for Real Madrid's Karim Benzema, claiming that the club are always linked to him "because he's French".

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has quashed speculation linking Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema with a move to the Emirates.

The France international is often touted as a target for the Gunners when the transfer window opens, but it does not seem as though a deal ever gets close to coming off.

This time, reports in Spain have claimed that Madrid have offered Arsenal and the Gunners' West London rivals Chelsea the opportunity to sign the Frenchman.

However, Wenger has poured cold water on the rumours, and when asked by reporters why his club is always linked with Benzema, the 67-year-old said: "Because he's French. Maybe there are some noises that he would leave Madrid, as I told you, there's no need to buy a striker."

When asked if he would think about making a move in the summer, the Arsenal boss responded: "In a summer window, that's not my worry at the moment."

Wenger has also ruled out making any signings before Tuesday night's deadline.
