Not since Robin van Persie was in his prime have Arsenal had a truly world class marksman. Alexis Sanchez goes into the world class category but many to most would prefer him to ply his trade out wide where he can cause so much damage running at the opposition.
And reports continue to smoulder about Arsenal rectifying that area of their squad.
Talksport says that Arsenal are in pole position to land a beauty:
The Spanish giants have made no secret of their desire to cash in on the 27-year-old and recruit younger talent in his place. Arsenal are thought to be leading the race for Benzema after Premier League rivals Man United pursuit stumbled.
Master Marksman
The same report suggests that Arsenal also retain an interest in Gonzalo Higuain of Napoli. With Arsenal’s system only employing one up top you would assume that they will attempt to sign either/or. But, in truth, we think that most Arsenal fans would be happy with either.
Both players have the ability to score from nothing and it’s a quality that the Arsenal team lacks at the very top level.
Let’s take a look at Benzema in action. Arsenal fans: would you prefer the Frenchman to Higuain or will either remedy the main problem of regularly lacking cutting edge in attack when the team plays against the very top sides?
