Karim Benzema has joined Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad on loan from Paris Saint-Germain in a move that could boost the team's midfield strength.
The French striker, who is known for his pace and goal-scoring abilities, will be expected to provide a potent threat up front for the team, particularly in the attacking third.

With Benzema on board, the team will hope to pick up where they left off after a strong start to the season.
Benzema's arrival will also give coach Youssef El Arib a much-needed boost in terms of firepower up front.
He has already scored five goals in six matches this season, and his presence will undoubtedly help to unsettle defences and create chances for teammates.
Overall, it looks like Karim Benzema's loan move to Al Ittihad could be a big step forward for the team, and one that could pay dividends both domestically and internationally.
