The Gunners were dealt a severe blow to their title hopes this weekend as Antonio Conte’s top of the table Chelsea, managed to put three past them at the Stamford Bridge to consolidate their place in the points table.
Wenger’s side have now taken just 4 points from 5 league games this year and have dropped to the 4th place in the points table, 12 points off their London rivals at the top of the table.
The manager bought in the likes of Granit Xhaka and Lucas Perez in the summer, both of whom have failed to establish a place in the starting XI this season and though Shkodran Mustafi was a successful buy, the manager, is ready to dive into the market yet against at the end of the season.
Wenger was desperate for a striker in the summer but had to settle for Lucas Perez and according to the reports from The Sun, the manager might be able to steal a European star in the summer.
The Arsenal manager has looked at likes of Mauro Icardi, Alexander Lacazette and Jamie Vardy among many at the start of the season but the report from the Sun claims that Arsenal might be able to land Real Madrid star Karim Benzema at the end of the season.
The French international, who has been prolific infront of goal for a long time now has not been at his best this season and has been linked with an exit.
Zinedine Zidane, the manager at the Bernabeu, is desperate for an attacking addition and has had an eye on Manchester City star Sergio Aguero who is up for sale in the summer and it is understood that Zidane is ready to let Benzema go and replace him with the Argentine star for the next season.
Though Chelsea are after Morata, Real are convinced that Benzema should go and have fixed a price of £50m to get hem talking and Wenger is now one of the few teams who are already scouting for him.
The manager at the Emirates, recently signed star striker Olivier Giroud to the club for the long term but he is determined to add a top class striker to his squad and is now ready to make a move for Benzema in the summer.
The 28-year old ex-Lyon star has been a long-term transfer target for the Gunners but they have never been this close to landing him. But with Real ready to sell, they might finally get their man this year.
Do you think Benzema is a decent addition for the Gunners?
