Karim Benzema flying to Arsenal?

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema is travelling somewhere. The Frenchman posted a cryptic message on his Instagram account as the rest of his teammates flew out to China.

Instead of going with them, the 27-year-old was flying solo on a private plane and wrote: "Let the past remain the past," with a hashtag roughly translated as #lookingtothefuture. Is he flying to London? And is Arsenal that future?

Earlier, there was also a juicy rumour from Portuguese newspaper Record: with Porto close to signing Tottenham winger Erik Lamela on loan with an option to make the deal permanent for €7.5 million.
