Arsenal have already signed a top class center forward this month by hiring the services of Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon.
Still, they are linked with another quality French striker in the form of Real Madrid’s Benzema.
Earlier this month, we covered a report (via Don Balon) claiming that the Gunners have put forward a proposal to secure the signing of the former Lyon striker. Now, another Spanish source have come up with an intriguing story.
According to Diario Gol, Real Madrid are looking to reinforce their squad and certain key stars are lined up.

The Spanish source suggests that Ronaldo is irreplaceable and Bale would command a mammoth fee of 100 million euros, therefore, the only way to sign a superstar is by selling Karim Benzema.
Diario Gol have mentioned that the Los Blancos have evidence that Arsenal could present a last minute offer to lure the 29-year-old Les Bleus star. Wenger is looking to replace Alexis and if the Chilean leaves then the Arsenal boss wants Karim to join.
Benzema’s cuurent contract with the European champions will expire in 2019 and he earns €298,000-a-week (Star). This season, he has started every game for Madrid so far (4), scored 1 goal and provided 1 assist.
The Spanish source have further mentioned that Florentino Perez has his phone ready to sign a new No.9. We shall see how the transfer saga unfolds in the coming days.

It would be waiste to buy him when Giroud is staying. Rather take the money and buy Draxler or Seri. If ox don’t want to play for Arsenal let him go. Get players who want to play for the club
Wenger should stop begging players to play for the team if the player wants to go let him go we need reinforcement fast the likes of seri from nice and draxler from and benzema from real and that the team is falling apart because of wrong technical decision towards playing goes. For me we won’t archieve anything if we don’t go big in the transfer window this season
To see ox bully Arsenal pity me. A player who Arsenal struggled with during his injury woes pay back in such a manner is totally shameful. I would revenge by buying some one in that position and bench him completely.
