da jogodeouro： Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema may become available to Arsenal this summer with Spanish reports suggesting that the La Liga giants could sell him.
da brdice： Real Madrid are pursuing in-demand striker Falcao, and according to El Mundo Deportivo, they will look to offload Karim Benzema if they manage to bring in the Atlético Madrid star.
The news could interest Arsenal, who have been targeting Benzema for a long time, with boss Arsène Wenger being a huge fan of the French international. Additionally, there has been much speculation in the past about a desire to make an offer for the star.
Benzema, 24, has been at the Bernabeu since 2009, signing for the La Liga side from French team Lyon in 2009.
He would be a big draw for the Gunners if they managed to secure his services, as he has a reputation of being among the best strikers in Europe, though he does not regularly start for Real Madrid.
However, the Gunners could face competition from Paris Saint-Germain, who are also interested in Benzema and apparently made enquiries about him this summer.
Interest from the French side would also make things more difficult for Arsenal, with the team enjoying spending power on a significantly larger scale.
Arsenal’s strike force have struggled so far this season, with Gervinho and Olivier Giroud, in particular, having problems in front of goal.
It is thought that this impotence in front of goal and the loss of last season’s top scorer Robin van Persie to Premier League rivals Manchester United may mean that Wenger will be on the lookout for a striker come January.
