# Karim Benzema to fly in for medical

According to Emanuele Giuilianelli, Arsenal are believed to be flying in Karim Benzema on Sunday for a medical, which will take place on Monday morning, with the announcement coming later that day.

Giuilianelli revealed recently that the Gunners were also interested in taking Villarreal captain [Bruno Soriano](https://readarsenal.com/2015/08/20/arsenal-interested-bruno-soriano/)away from Spain and to the Emirates, now the Italian journalist has claimed that French international striker Karim Benzema is ready to fly in for his medical, with a private jet and accommodation already booked.
