Karim Benzema wants Paul Pogba at Real Madrid

Karim Benzema has urged Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba to join him at Real Madrid this summer.

Pogba, 21, is widely regarded as one of the best young talents in world football, with his performances in Turin gaining a host of outside interest.

Chelsea and Barcelona are also believed to be in the running, but Benzema believes that the central midfielder would thrive at the Bernabeu.

"He's a young player playing at a big European club. He gets better with each game and he's at a high level and will continue to work hard," the Madrid striker told reporters.

"I would love him to leave for Madrid because he's French and can become a great player."

Benzema and Pogba are both currently with the France squad ahead of this summer's World Cup.
