The Frenchman has 15 goals in 24 appearances with his new club, but Al-Ittihad sits at seventh on the Saudi Pro League table more than halfway through the season.
According to ESPN, "the Premier League could be an option for Benzema," and he definitely will not be returning to Real Madrid.
Many fans of Premier League clubs, particularly Arsenal and Chelsea, were abuzz with excitement about the potential addition of an excellent goal scorer joining their favorite club.
