After sending Arsenal fans into a frenzy a couple of days ago with a cryptic Instagram post which suggests he could well be on his way to club, Benzema’s move to the Emirates seems to be in the offing as the north Londoners are reportedly preparing an improve offer of £40.5million for the forward.
Despite being inconsistent for some part of last campaign, Benzema is still famed to be one of Europe’s most potent finisher which Arsenal are well aware of.
Arsene Wenger is searching Europe for a deadly goal poacher to spearhead the attack in his team’s bid for glory in the upcoming campaign, and although Julian Draxler and Fernando Llorente have been touted as potential candidates, Benzema remains top of Wenger’s wish list.
Spanish source, Fichajes claimed yesterday that Arsenal were willing to submit a mammoth offer of $63million for Benzema’s signature after Real Madrid rejected their initial advances.
The media is now seething with reports that Los Blancos are listening to offers for the 27-year old forward and Arsenal have prepared a new £40.5million bid which they accept will tempt the Spanish giants into parting ways with their coveted striker.
Despite the dismalness which characterized his performances last term, the former Lyon ace managed to chip in with 22 goals and 15 assists in 46 games for the 10-time Champions League winners.
Arsenal will now be hoping their long-term target joins them this summer, and with Wenger also keen for his compatriot to play for him at the London side, the transfer could be a possibility.
Meanwhile, Wojciech Szczesny has joined AS Roma on a season-long loan from Arsenal, with an option to a permanent deal at the end of the loan. The Poland international glovesman decided to leave after Petr Cech arrived from Chelsea to be Arsenal’s No.1 next term.
