Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has kicked against his old club signing former Real Madrid Captain Karim Benzema.

Benzema, who currently plays for Al-Ittihad, is said to be exiting from the Saudi Pro League side.

The Frenchman has attracted interest from Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.

However, while Arsenal is in the market for a center-forward as well this January transfer window, Petit doesn’t want the Gunners to sign him.

“What is the price for Benzema? Do you have any idea how much Benzema will be earning in Saudi? I don’t think any English Club will be able to offer him the same amount of money. It is his choice if he comes back but after winning everything with Real Madrid and being 34 years old, I don’t think he will want to come to the Premier League.” he said.

“It is so physical, it is so mentally hard, it’s not La Liga, with all the respect for him, he played for probably the biggest club in the world with great success, but it is not the Premier League. I’m not confident Arsenal should go to Benzema, they should go for someone else.”
