The London side are looking for additional strikers and Pochettino may look to bring the Frenchman back to Europe with Benzema reportedly unhappy in Jeddah.
An outlet may be emerging to bring an end to Karim Benzema’s time in Saudi Arabia as the UK based Telegraph report that the French striker is being linked with Chelsea along with Al Ahli’s Roberto Firmino.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side are looking for additional forwards given Nkunku’s physical problems and Nico Jackson’s departure to the African Cup with Senegal and the club are considering the veteran French striker as a possible option.
The former Ballon d’Or winner has failed to report back on time in Jeddah and will miss Al Ittihad’s mini preseason in Dubai as the Saudi Pro League is temporarily on hold with the AFC Asia Cup ongoing.
Chelsea had their sights set on Napoli striker Victor Osimhen with the financial aspect of the deal out of the Stamford Bridge club’s reach and the alternative target Iván Toney, seems set to continue at Brentford.
As things stand, the most logical move for Chelsea right now is to find a forward on loan for the remainder of the season with two candidates being considered and both Saudi Pro League players in Firmino and Benzema. The Brazilian has previous experience in playing on Premier League and is looking for an exit from Al Ahli.
Across town, Benzema too appears anxious to sever ties with Al Ittihad as he remains trapped in Mauritius with a tropical storm impacting in travel in and out of the Chagos Archipelago.

this people that always mention osimeh should know that osimeh is very costly and Chelsea is almost in financial fair problem I believe if they loan Benzema to Chelsea is going to be a good signing

be looking for young players ,no carry experience player
Young players lack maturity,experience and confidence towards the game..... specifically Chelsea players....we need at least an experienced striker, midfielder and defender (to replace T.Silva)

Am a big fan for Karim Benzema but on this one I would choose Robert Firmino because he has the premier league experience but Karim would take time to adapt..........my submission

For once Chelsea is trying to sign a player. not their usual Kingdom garden method. That team needs someone to increase the hunger and desire of the younger players.

Big Benz is one of the Best strikers under the sun but chelsea need a younger and hungry player with a lot to prove. Big Benz has nothing to prove like he has achived it all he will retire in 2years time.

i agree with you.... the other quetion is can he survive in EPL ? its physical and fast. 2 games in 7days week in week out 🤔
yes he can survive, he's just 35, while thiago is 39 and he's more hungrier than the young yahoo boys playing along with him
