Karim Benzema 'happy at Real Madrid'

Karim Benzema has insisted that he is happy at Real Madrid, amid speculation linking the striker with a move away from the club.

The 26-year-old, who is reportedly a target for Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, has won over his critics at the Bernabeu this season with Madrid targeting a raft of silverware.

"I am happy here. I only think of Real Madrid and I consider that this could be my big year," the striker told Marca.

"For me it was very hard to hear cries from the grounds in the Bernabeu but I have matured and now the situation is different.

"Our goal is to win the lot. We've already made the cup final and we're well placed in the other competitions. There are some top teams left in the Champions League."

The Frenchman has scored 16 goals for the La Liga side this season.
