Arsenal have Moved in with Offer for €1Billion Star

Arsenal splashed the cash in the summer transfer window to sign a top quality striker in the form of French star Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon.

The Les Bleus center forward has been fruitful for the Gunners so far but in his presence, Giroud has mostly warmed the bench and it will not come as any surprise to see the former Montpellier player leave the Emirates.

In such a scenario, the North Londoners will need another top striker and reports are once again linking them with Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema.

According to Don Balon, Arsene Wenger wants to replace Alexis Sanchez by signing Benzema but he does not want to break the bank to lure the French forward.

The Spanish source have mentioned that Arsenal are the only club that have moved in with an offer for the former Lyon center forward which is worth €40million.

The 30-year-old star has won every major title with the Los Blancos but this season, he has been out of form. In 20 games so far, Karim has only netted 5 times.

Not to forget, Benzema agreed a new deal (until 2021) with the Spanish giants few months back that has a mammoth release clause of €1billion
