Arsenal Transfers: 5 Better Alternatives To Luis Suarez

1. Christian Benteke

Last night, Christian Benteke stunned Aston Villa be handing in a transfer request to leave the Midlands club - just one year after signing from Genk. The young Belgian international is sure to spark a bidding war over the next few weeks with his actions and bids are expected from a host of the continent's leading clubs such as Tottenham, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, ­Fiorentina and, yes, Arsenal too. The 22-year-old was the fourth-highest goalscorer in England last season and his 19 league goals put him just behind Gareth Bale, Luis Suarez and Golden Boot winner Robin van Persie. That has attracted interest from a spate of clubs this summer, all of whom will be doing everything they can to ensure they land one of European football's brightest young talents. Do you think Arsenal should make a fresh offer for Luis Suarez or are there better options out there? Let us know in the comment section, below.
