Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)
Karim Benzema is thought to be Arsenal’s top striker target, with Arsene Wenger on the lookout for a new centre forward this summer.
Although the Gunners boss has previously voiced concerns at the inability of Benzema and Giroud to play together for the France national team, his propensity to play a lone striker means they would likely be competing for the same place in the team rather than both being in the same side.
Benzema’s future at Real Madrid likely hinges on what his current club’s transfer plans are this summer in forward positions, but 22 goals and 14 assists in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League suggest he could be the prolific centre forward Arsenal are looking for.
