It has been well documented in recent months that several top European clubs are lining up for the signature of Lyon striker Karim Benzema.

The French international has been dazzling interested parties with some terrific displays in recent months and all the talk is, is that either Barcelona, Man United, Arsenal or AC Milan will try and persuade to the 20-year old to leave Lyon.

Benzema was seen pictured with Lyon manager Alan Perrin and Man United boss Sir Alex Ferguson after the clash between the two sides last week.

They appeared to be getting on really well despite the fact that Benzema had previously stated that he was interested in a move to the Premier League.

There is talk that United will make £30 million bid for the player come the summer and in my view that could turn out to be money well spent. Lyon, have supposedly replied by saying that they want £45 million for Lyon number 10.

I personally hope Benzema comes to England and displays his superb talent in the Premier League. He has the ability to be, in my view, one of the best ever talents to come out of France ever. I do however feel that he may opt for La Liga and that would then see him join Barcelona.
