Real Madrid manager Rafa Benitez is considering deploying Jese in the central striker role for the new season and will test the young forward in Sunday's friendly against Valerenga. Spanish newspaper Marca have reported that Benitez will play Jese as his side's No 9 in Norway, with injured duo Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo missing. However, Marca suggest that Benitez sees Jese as a 'guaranteed No 9' and he could be preparing for life without Arsenal target Benzema. Arsene Wenger has been given the all clear to break Arsenal's transfer record to land the France international. And the Gunners are also willing to eclipse current record signing Mesut Ozil's £150,000-per-week wages to land their No 1 target.Jese will play in central striker role in Sunday's friendly against ValerengaReal Madrid boss Rafa Benitez sees young forward as a 'guaranteed No 9'Benitez is without injured duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim BenzemaJuventus' Super Cup victory over Lazio has been hailed by Italian mediaNew signings Mario Mandzukic and Paulo Dybala impressed for Juventus
