Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Real Madrid’s new boss Rafa has already sounded out star winger Raheem Sterling. Add to the mix constant reports about Perez’s dream’s to get Aguero and Madrid would seem to be preparing a major summer splash once again. This would indirectly affect one player, Perez’s personal favourite Karim Benzema.
There have been reports that the French striker takes competition badly. If the Sterling and Aguero signings go through it may signal the end for the hitman who scored 21 goals plus assisted 11 this season.
Wenger is an admirer of his countrymen. He was interested in bringing him from Lyon in 2009 before Real stepped in.
He has amassed 15 league goals at shot accuracy of 53%. Pretty world class figures but you have to take into consideration the supply he gets at Madrid.
Minus the physicality and you would have a pretty dim view of the France’s top hitman. Yes, he may have more pace than Giroud, but Theo and Welbz can be called upon too.
The latter’s finishing has left Arsenal fans lot to be desired of though. But he has played as a winger for most of his career and he needs time under Wenger’s wings to turn him into a ruthless poacher.
Welbeck always get’s into those positions and you can’t forget is hat-trick against Galatasaray can you?
Benzema has won 21/43 headed duels in his 29 matches in La Liga. In comparison, Olivier Giroud has won 99/197 headed duels to give both a success rate of around 50%. But the total headed duel figures tell you the physical nature of EPL.
What Benzema is good at is what Giroud already excels at. What Arsenal really need is a striker who compliments what they already have.

Mr Wenger will be stupid to sign Benzema . I don’t his better than Giroud ! We are better off with Jackson Martinez or Larccatte !

Jackson and Lacazatte will be better option. But Benzima is playing with likes of Ronaldo so his figures could have been better. The three are world class strikers but sometimes they both have different strengths
Benzema will not add much. I would go for Lacazette.
Buy lacazette we don’t want martinez or benzema.arsene knows better lacazette is much younger and has a better season.
Wtf!? Mate you do know he starts ahead of olly for france. He is just as good as giroud in hold up and link up play and he is a lot lot better finisher and has decent pace and can run behind. There is a reason real sold higuain and kept him. What do you mean by the services he is getting? If you watch real play he regularly moves wide to let their wingers come in and score. He has 10 assists to his name check that too. For real, ronaldo bale and even james shoot more often than benzema. He is real’s ozil but only plays in different role and position. He is one of the providers. He can shoot, i mean launch a rocket with his either foot. He is an upgrade on giroud in every department except may be workrate.
I feel Benzema will be a Giroud mark 2. Over the years he has only done enough to keep his RealMad shirt as a number 2/3 striker.
For me I believe Giroud is a better striker than Benzema and what we need is someone with different pertern that can offer what Giroud does not have and Benzema is not that person , I believe a person of Jackson Mathinez is a better option with all due respect BOSS Wenger should try and get Us Mathinez signature so we could move ahead for better(GLORIES) thanks Urs ( PRINCE OF OKIJA)
