Real Madrid coach Rafael Benitez remains confident Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema will be at the Bernabeu this coming season despite ongoing speculation over their futures.

Benitez told a press conference ahead of Tuesday's Audi Cup clash against Tottenham in Munich: "Gareth is a huge player for us and I know that he's happy.”

"I'm not going to talk about offers. Everything is well and he's going to have a good season with us I'm sure."
On speculation linking Benzema with a move to Arsenal, former Liverpool boss Benitez added: "My answer is that I think Benzema is going to stay with us. I'm very happy with him. There's no reason to think that he's going to go."
