Arsenal Transfers: 10 Strikers Arsene Wenger Must Target This Summer

2. Karim Benzema

Another French ace who could come in and boost Arsenal's attack next season is Real Madrid's Karim Benzema. Benzema is facing an uncertain future at Real with the Spanish club's president Florentino Perez refusing to give up on Luis Suarez, with another big-money move for the Liverpool man planned this summer. And the Uruguayan's potential arrival at the Bernabeu would leave Benzema out in the cold, with Arsenal carefully monitoring developments. Benzema was on top form last season, scoring 24 goals in all competitions and providing 14 assists, while his five goals in 10 European outing has seen Real reach this weekend's Champions League final, where they will take on cross-city rivals Atletico. Wenger would no doubt jump at the chance of signing Benzema should his capture prove a realistic prospect, and with the star looking like his Madrid days are numbered, a move to London could be on the cards.
