As we all know, Arsene Wenger has confirmed that he will be rather busy but ‘sensible’ in the transfer market this summer. Personally, I don’t think Arsenal can afford to be sensible, especially if we want to win any silverware next season.
With Nicklas Bendtner and Carlos Vela looking certain to depart the Emirates this summer, the North London club will only be left with the superb Robin van Persie and the less superb Marouane Chamakh to fire Arsenal to the title next season! This, quite frankly, is just not going to happen.
So, here are 5 strikers that I feel Arsene Wenger should attempt to sign, and evidently, bolster the strike force for next season’s campaign:
1. Karim Benzema
It is strongly rumoured that Arsenal will try their hardest to sign the out-of-favour Frenchman from Real Madrid this summer, after being unable to obtain regular first-team action. After moving to Real Madrid from Lyon back in 2009, the 23-year-old striker hasn’t really made much of an impact in the Spanish capital. The France international was in quite deadly form at the start of this season, but found himself on the bench most of the time, despite such a good run.
I think that Benzema would be an excellent addition to the squad. He scores goals, shoots from outside the box (which Arsenal severely lack in all honesty) and can head a ball as well. And with him being french, it could persuade his pal Samir Nasri to put pen to paper and sign a new deal at the Emirates.
However, a £25 million price-tag could put Arsene Wenger off, as he is not known to splash the cash, especially after what happened with Jose Antonio Reyes. But I truly believe that Wenger needs to brush the dust off his cheque book and spend some big money on a big player. It seems Wenger might do, after recently hinting he could make a move for Benzema this summer. However, this remains to be seen following recent statements from the player stating that he will be at Real next season. Still, this could change in an instance…fingers crossed.

FALCAO / SANCHEZ / BENZEMA. Any of these guys would be a good buy. Benzema can change his words if the right offers are made. My best pick is Falcao.
4 my own point of view mr wenger should go 4 a good sharp strike bcos only v.p is our strike just look @ wen dis guy ave injure no replacement 4 our attack and over 4 benzema has turn down so not only d attack alone but 4 him 2 bring in new face who are capable of doing thing and who can take on opponent and beat them in a game
all we is getting world class already made players not promising players.
Shane,Bent ar not good enough for any team eager to win something. Benzema is good,Tevez is super(though he’s comin to d Emirates is not feasible),Bojan is not a proven match winner.He has d potentials,but he’s yet to prove himself.We dont just need players;we need match winners.
