Arsenal reportedly interested in striker who scored 28 goals last season

Arsenal is reportedly interested in France international and Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema according to Mirror.co.uk (via El Confidential). It would likely require a substantial transfer fee to get Benzema to the Emirates.

Benzema is a 28 year old who has thrived in La Liga. Benzema has scored 10 goals or more in La Liga for each of the past 6 seasons and it would be difficult for Real Madrid to give up such a productive player.

Real Madrid would reportedly only be willing to part ways with Benzema if they are able to get another striker to replace him.

Benzema would be a great signing for Arsenal, and he is the type of player who could help them win major trophies. He is a must sign, so long as his transfer fee is not outrageous.

Unfortunately it seems unlikely that Arsenal will be able to make a transfer for Benzema. Real Madrid will reportedly only sell Benzema if they get another striker, and even if that happens he might be out of Arsenal’s price range anyway.
