Here we go again

Once again, Karim Benzema has been linked with a move away from Real Madrid, and Arsenal are on alert. Here we go again.

Spanish newspaper El Mundo Deportivo claims the French striker could be on his way out of the Bernabeu if Madrid’s pursuit of Radamel Falcao proves successful.

Arsene Wenger is known to be a keen admirer of the 24-year-old, who is currently in his fourth season at Madrid, and is rated as one of the best strikers in European football.

Many believe Arsenal are in desperate need of a striker after selling Robin van Persie in the summer and Benzema would be an ideal replacement in many Gooners’ eyes. And I’m one of them.

But, to be honest, even if Real manage to sign Falcao, I can’t see Jose Mourinho offload Benzema. If anything he would look to get rid of Gonzalo Higuain, who has dropped down the pecking order.

However, should Benzema become available, I would love for Wenger to reignite his interest in him. He would suit our style of play perfectly and is a lethal striker when on form – something we could do with at the moment.
