Arsenal are ready to make a move to sign Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema next summer according to Merca Futbol.
Arsenal were in the market for a new centre forward over the course of the summer and added Lucas Perez to Arsene Wenger’s squad to bolster options.
Benzema has had a tough time of it of late, with his absence from the France squad for Euro 2016 squad down to him falling out with team-mate Mathieu Valbuena.
Madrid have re-signed Alvaro Morata from Juventus and as such the French forward now has serious competition for a berth in Zinedine Zidane’s starting XI in the Spanish capital.
Arsenal fans have called out for the club to sign a world-class striker over a number of transfer windows.
Benzema scored 24 La Liga goals last season in his best return for the Spanish giants in seven campaigns with the Santiago Bernabeu outfit.
