Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema finally drew the line under the Arsenal rumours this afternoon.
The France international has been linked with a big-money move to the Emirates Stadium throughout the summer, but he put an end to the speculation with this Twitter post this afternoon:

With their top target off the market, here are five other strikers that the Gunners could move for in the closing days of the transfer window…
5) Edinson Cavani (Paris Saint-Germain)
Talk that the Uruguay international could move to North London has been gathering pace. He scored 18 goals in 35 Ligue 1 games last season, and is probably the next most high-profile option to Benzema.
