Karim Benzema Real Madrid) Projected fee: £35m
Another long term target and a player who’s future is somewhat undecided.
The French forward was a regular under Carlo Ancelotti, the Italian manager showing great faith in the former Lyon man, and Benzema more than delivered. Over the past two seasons the 27 year old scored 46 goals and provided 25 assists in 98 appearances.
Benzema would provide Arsene Wenger with a more effective spearhead for his Arsenal attack than current first choice Olivier Giroud and now may be the right time to make an official bid for the Real Madrid star.
