Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema  hit out at the "clowns" who continue to link him with a move away from the club.

Benzema has been repeatedly linked with a switch to Arsenal in recent months, although Emirates Stadium boss Arsene Wenger has frequently denied a move will materialize.

Madrid coach Rafael Benitez has also been moved to dismiss the prospect and Benzema took to social media to have his own say on Tuesay (AEST).

Accompanied by a picture of himself in the Real Madrid changing room, Benzema tweeted: "For all those clowns who want to make believe things at my fans. Here this is my home ! #HalaMadridYNadaMas."

Benzema missed Madrid's season-opening 0-0 draw at Sporting Gijon having suffered with a thigh problem in recent weeks.
