Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has insisted he has no plans to leave the Bernabeu.

The France forward has been persistently linked with Arsenal, but took to Twitter to say he was going nowhere.

“For all those clowns who want to make believe things at my fans. Here this is my home ! #HalaMadridYNadaMas,” Benzema wrote.

Real earlier mentioned Benzema in an update from squad training to quell rumours of a switch.

The Primera Liga giants began their campaign with a goalless draw at Sporting Gijon on Sunday.

“Benzema worked with the group during the first part of the training session when the players who started against Sporting trained at a lower intensity level,” a story on realmadrid.com read.
