Inevitably, Arsenal needs to add players during this month’s transfer window if they want to win the Premier League, and acquiring a top-tier striker may be essential to that goal.
There have been rumors of Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen moving to the Emirates Stadium. Even though Osimhen has expressed interest in playing in the Premier League, he is not yet prepared to leave Italian champions Napoli.
It is almost a given that Toney will depart Brentford shortly, if not this month, then definitely in the summer. To show his gratitude to the Bees for their support during his betting prohibition, he wants to remain at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Teamtalk claims that Karim Benzema, the former striker for Real Madrid, has been explored by Arsenal for a loan move.
According to reports, the French striker is seeking to leave the Middle East because he is not pleased at Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.
His signing is being sought after by several clubs in Europe. The French striker has reportedly attracted interest from Manchester United and Chelsea.
The former Ballon d’Or winner may be available on loan to Arsenal, according to manager Mikel Arteta.
As to Football.London, “If Arsenal is unable to make a significant purchase in January, then reaching out to Benzema seems like a worthwhile conversation.” The player has had an amazing career, but there would still be risks associated with this decision.
Since Benzema is already 36 years old, it is unlikely that Al-Ittihad would consent to a loan unless the Gunners agreed to pay a portion of his enormous salary. Given his age and lack of experience in the Premier League, the striker himself could choose to move to a place where winning championships is more certain.
