According to the latest reports, Arsenal are linked with a summer move for Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema.
Arsene Wenger is believed to be a long-term admirer of the French striker and with Olivier Giroud failing to impress in big games, Benzema will be a perfect fit for the gunners. He has all the required attributes like pace, composure and finishing to be a successful striker at any top club.
These reports also suggest that Real Madrid may sell Karim Benzema to raise funds to bring in Luis Suarez from Liverpool. With the superb form Suarez in at the moment, Real will know that they have to pay a hefty fee to make Suarez wear that famous white jersey of theirs. Madrid’s increased debts means they cannot have the luxury of having two super strikers in the club.
Arsenal already took advantage of a similar situation when they signed Mesut Ozil in last Summer. Can they do it again? May be we have to wait till the transfer deadline day to find an answer to this question.
