Gunners re-linked with striker

Arsenal have once again been linked with a move for Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, with reports of a potential £40million move next summer emerging.

Merca Football are suggesting that Arsene Wenger is still keen on the French international. However, signing him could be a tricky task, as Real will be reluctant to sell given their ban from signing players in the next 2 windows.

Benzema could depart the Bernabeu – but Real wouldn’t be able to source a replacement.

Wenger has been repeatedly linked with the 28-year-old striker.

And Merca Football reckon a £40m bid could be on the cards. Wenger has a reputation for being reluctant to splash the cash and the Gunners’ only attacking addition was Lucas Perez from Deportivo la Coruna last month, late on in the summer transfer window.

But Benzema might be viewed as a replacement for Olivier Giroud rather than a straight-up addition to the attack power at the Emirates.
