Karim Benzema, who was linked to Arsenal during the last winter transfer window, remains a strong target for the London club. Despite being in excellent form at Real Madrid, Spanish media reports suggest that the club is now more open to letting him go — potentially for a substantial transfer fee. This shift is reportedly tied to Real Madrid’s ambitions to bring in a new high-profile striker, such as Sergio Agüero.
Arsène Wenger, long an admirer of Benzema, might finally get his chance to bring the French-Algerian to the Emirates. If the deal materializes, Arsenal fans could witness a Benzema-Giroud partnership at the forefront of their attack next season — a duo already familiar from the French national team setup.
