Olivier Giroud has revealed that he would have liked Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema to join Arsenal.

The 27-year-old has been heavily linked with an eye-watering ÂŁ50million move to the Emirates Stadium this summer.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is keen to strengthen his attacking line before tomorrows 6pm deadline, after scoring just three goals in the opening four Premier League outings.

And Giroud; who has netted just once so far, believes it’s a shame his French compatriot Benzema didn’t opt to join north London.

“It is true that every year here there is speculation about a new striker signing,” Giroud, 28, told BeIN Sports.

“There were seasons when we signed Sanchez and Welbeck, others when we were talking about Suarez.

“It is obvious that in a club, a team, where a lot is expected, we need several good attackers and I understand that the fans want that we spend more money.

“It is not up to me to answer this question, the coach knows very well what he is doing, and sometimes you should not buy just to buy, and sometimes there are not players out there that you need, who are available.

“We have a very good squad, with quality, and I am sure that with this squad we can go very far.

The Frenchman added: “Aside from that, it would have been good if Karim had signed too, eh?”
