Wenger will look to partner Benzema with QPR forward Loic Remy, a move that could well lead to Olivier Giroud considering his options at the Emirates Stadium.
The 27 year old French international had an excellent season on loan at Newcastle United last term, scoring 14 goals in 24 Premier League starts, but a move back to Loftus Road is seemingly unlikely and the chance to move to Arsenal could tempt the former Marseille man.
Arsenal were at times overly dependent on Giroud last term and the big forward’s ability to make a consistent impact in the Premier League was certainly questioned at times.
Real Madrid youngster Alvaro Morata and Bayern Munich star Mario Mandzukic are also said to be potential Arsenal targets this summer.
