French international Karim Benzema signs three-year deal with Saudi club Al-Ittihad. The 32-year-old has played just nine times for the Blues this season.

He missed the World Cup with a hamstring injury. The deal is worth an estimated $100 million a year, according to reports in Saudi Arabia. It is the second major signing for the club in less than a year. The first was Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, who signed for $75 million in January.
