Desperate Arsenal turn to Real Madrid's Benzema to solve striker shortage

Desperate Arsenal turn to Real Madrid's Benzema to solve striker shortage.

Arsene Wenger has turned his attentions to Real Madrid superstar Karim Benzema to solve Arsenal's striker shortage.

The Gunners are prepared to pay £40m for 25-year-old France striker after missing out on Gonzalo Higuain and Liverpool's Luis Suarez.

Wenger is a long-term admirer of the France international, and is hoping Real will sell him to help fund their world-record move for Spurs star Gareth Bale.

Arsenal have at least £70million to spend on new signings this summer, so affording Benzema will not be a problem for the London club.

Arsenal have endured repeated frustration in the transfer window and, as well as a striker, Wenger is still working on deals for a goalkeeper and at least one midfielder.
