According to reports, Arsenal are seriously considering a spectacular move to sign Karim Benzema from Al-Ittihad on a temporary loan.
Since Eddie Nketiah, Gabriel Jesus, and Kai Havertz have not lived up to expectations as starting offensive linemen in the 2023–24 season, which still has a great deal of untapped potential, the Gunners are anxious to add to their offensive line during the January transfer window.
According to TEAMtalk, Karim Benzema, a former France international, could be set up for a sensational deal by Mikel Arteta. The 36-year-old footballer and his former Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo departed Europe after winning the Ballon d’Or in 2022 and relocated to the Middle East.
Benzema has been linked to Manchester United, but an offer from the Red Devils seems unlikely. Chelsea is another club that is currently looking for a dependable No. 9. If the Benzema move goes through, they might be the greatest danger to their London rivals, Arsenal.
Ivan Toney, an attacker with Premier League experience, would also pique Arsenal’s attention; nevertheless, any deal including the Brentford forward would not be cheap. The Gunners are reportedly considering quick fixes as a result, with Benzema suddenly taking front stage.
