Wenger has reportedly spoken to Karim Benzema about a move to the Emirates Stadium in the January transfer window.
Benzema, who is also a target for Liverpool and Chelsea, has been dogged by speculation over his future in the last few weeks.
And amid rumours that Madrid have finally decided to put him up for sale, reports in Spain say Wenger has called up the striker to discuss a transfer to Arsenal.
It’s claimed that Wenger told Benzema he was keen on signing him and made it clear he would be offered huge wages to move to north London.
Arsenal are after a big name striker and have previously been linked with Edinson Cavani, but Benzema would likely be a cheaper and easier option to sign.
