The latest talks suspect Lyon striker Karim Benzema could be a signing for the Arsenal. It looks however, this will only go through if the departure of Adebayor does succeed. Meaning he will be the possible replacement.

AC Milan are once again opening interest for the Arsenal star. Wenger is known for leaving things to the last minute, but if he wants to battle a bidding war between top guns such as Real Madrid and Manchester United, he will have to snap him up quick before too much interest is shown and other “money” clubs like City and Chelsea get involved making it harder to get him safely at the Emirates.

Though saying that above, he said if he were to join a club in England, it would be Arsenal over Man United. As he would love to play under one of the best managers in the world. Times online reported this,

Arsene Wenger is ready to go head to head with Sir Alex Ferguson for the signature of Karim Benzema in the knowledge that the 21-year-old France striker would rather join Arsenal this summer than Manchester United.

So if we are to go for the young talented striker, it should be now. Why play waiting games? Lets clear of Adebayor and get someone with great quality that will produce. We are already one step ahead of every English club now he has said he would play for Arsenal.
