Gunners re-linked with Real Madrid ace

Arsenal have once again been linked with a move for Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, with reports in Spain claiming the north London club are currently preparing a bid for the French international.

Arsene Wenger is known to be a huge admirer of Benzema, who has scored 14 goals in 23 appearances so far this season for Real, and has apparently placed the 23-year-old striker on top of his wish list, amid concerns over Robin van Persie’s future at the north London club, according to the Spanish press.

On the flipside, Real Madrid have been linked with a summer move for Van Persie, who has 18 months left to run on his current contract and has yet to sign a new deal at The Emirates.

It is thought that the Spanish giants could use Benzema as bait to land the in-form Dutch striker next summer. Somehow I just don’t see this happening.

As much as I would love to see Karim wearing our colours, it shouldn’t/won’t be at the expense of RVP’s departure, that’s for sure.

  • @kinky2100 says:

    Torres would be a cheaper option for us though benzema is more accomplished striker. if you consider his contribution to real Madrid this season, it illustrates outrightly that he would cost a fortune on transfer fee and his pay package! I wouldn’t mind a gamble on Torres for now if we don’t go for podolski.

    Tevez anyone?

    • Tay says:

      ill take tevez. but wenger just needs to have coffee with him before hand to let him now whose boss lol. tevez would be amazing n could also play on the left when gervinhio leaves for afcn

  • Anesh says:

    This will not happen…no benzene. However Podolski will be good….he can score. Hopefully we can get hazard….we need a nasri replacement. Would also like to see Walcott in a more central role.

  • ATID says:

    tevez, torres, benzema, podolski

    are we for real the last 3 centre forwards we bought were

    campbell £930k
    park £4m
    chamakh free

    i see that as being our market range. Now Bobby Zamora, he really could be an option after he just fell out with Jol.
