Real Madrid will not let Karim Benzema leave the club easily according to Kaka.

The former Madrid star, now with MLS side Orlando City, suggests that the French striker is the type of player that a club like Real would not be looking to offload.

Arsenal are being heavily linked with a move for the 27-year-old but former teammate Kaka is not so sure the Gunners will simply be able to land his signature.

"I think Benzema is one of the best forwards at this moment so I don't think Real Madrid will give him away so easily," the Brazilian great told talkSPORT.

"But Karim Benzema is a very good player and if he can have the opportunity to go to Arsenal then Arsenal will take a very, very good player."
