Arsenal Transfers: 5 Last Minute Dream Alternatives To Falcao

5. Karim Benzema

With Arsenal missing out on Radamel Falcao, fans are demanding a big name alternative and one option that would appease the supporters is Karim Benzema. The Real Madrid marksman has been linked with the Gunners over the course of the last few transfer windows but recently signed a new contract to stay at the Bernabeu until 2019. However, if there's one thing Falcao has taught us it is that nothing is certain in football. The Colombian only joined Monaco 12 months ago and is moving to England after just a year. It would take a massive bid to buy Benzema out of his current contract but the Gunners are desperate for a marquee centre-forward. Benzema scored 17 La Liga goals last season and has already struck once from two appearances so far this term, indicating he is set for another fine campaign in front of goal. Though a move to Emirates Stadium would be unlikely and hugely dramatic, that's what deadline day is made for.
