France striker, Karim Benzema has ended any speculation about his future by signing a new contract with Real Madrid.
Benzema was strongly linked to Arsenal last summer but Coach, Carlo Anceloti was able to convince him to remain at the Bernabeu and has now been rewarded with a five year extension to his current contract with the ten time UEFA Champions League winner.
A statement on the club's website confirming the contract extension reads: "Real Madrid CF announce the extension of the contract linking Karim Benzema to the club until June 30, 2019, the next five seasons."
Benzema's existing deal had been due to expire in the summer of next year.
The 26-year-old striker, who performed well for France at the World Cup in Brazil, moved to the Spanish capital from Lyon in 2009 and has scored a total of 111 goals in 235 appearances.
