Gunners will turn to Borussia Dortmund star if they can’t get Karim Benzema

Arsenal will try and sign Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang if they fail to sign Real Madrid star Karim Benzema.

The Gunners have been long-term admirers of Benzema, with Arsene Wenger following him since his Lyon days, but as of yet, he’s failed to land his star-target.

According to reports, Arsenal have put aside £45million for the Frenchman this summer, but they are still struggling to convince the La Liga side to sell.

Madrid will only sell Benzema if they find a suitable replacement, and according to reports, that replacement would have to be either Sergio Aguero or Marco Reus.

Benzema Back-up Plan

If Madrid fail to land either of those and therefore refuse to sell Benzema, Arsenal will turn their attentions to Aubameyang, a player they were interested in earlier this summer.

However, the Premier League outfit will struggle to land the pacy forward as he recently signed a long-term deal with the Bundesliga club.

It’s believed that with time running out in the transfer window, Arsenal do have back-up options in mind, and if they fail to land Benzema, they will try and lure Aubameyang to the club.
