Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante will share the same dressing room again when they both feature for Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad and the striker can't wait to partner the former Chelsea midfielder.

Karim Benzema has given a warm welcome to his former France international teammate N’Golo Kante.

The 32-year-old joined Al Ittihad from Chelsea for a fee reported to be around £86m per season for the next three years.

The Frenchman will once again be sharing the same dressing room with his international teammate Benzema who also left Real Madrid this summer.

Benzema signed a whopping €200 million in a two year deal and will be spear-heading the attack of the Saudi Pro League champions.

“Hi N’Golo, one time I told you, you are the best box-to-box midfielder in the world, now I’m happy to play with you again.

“And of course at the best team in Saudi, see you Jeddah.”

N’Golo responded:

“Thank you Karim, Nice to see you again, thank you for your words.

“I’m very pleased to play with you, you are the best player in the world and I’m very excited to play with the Tigers in front of the fans at Al Jawharah.

“Take care, I'll see you soon.”
