The third target on Arsenal’s striking wish-list comes in the form of long term Arsene Wenger target Karim Benzema. The French forward has had less of an issue securing regular playing time than the aforementioned pair but the French international has come in for a fair amount of abuse from his own supporters after a poor start to the current campaign.
Carlo Ancelotti appears to be courting the likes of Liverpool’s Luis Suarez and Man City striker Sergio Aguero, players the former PSG boss may feel would be a more natural fit to form a front three alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, and as such Benzema may well be sacrificed to make way in January.
The 25 year old has experienced something of a return to form in recent weeks, scoring four and providing four assists in his past four appearances but that may well not save him from being offloaded by the Spanish giants if a good offer for his services is forthcoming.
