There have been a lot of rumors regarding who will be Arsenal’s next big-time transfer. Many focused on the midfield section while others insisted the attack will be getting an upgrade. It is a tough call to make considering how discreet Wenger has been with all transfers.

Recent signs point towards a striker transfer as Jackson Martinez and Karim Benzema seem to be on top of the shopping list for the months to come. The Columbian who just announced his departure from Porto did not comment on his destination but assured the press he will be performing in the Champions League next season. A pre-contract agreement was already signed allegedly just before the striker’s announcement. The other big opportunity Arsenal have is to finally get Benzema to move to London. The Frenchman who was not happy with his last years at Bernabeu, could be joining a long list of big names willing to leave now that Ancelotti has made way for Benitez. Ramos and even Ronaldo could be saying goodbye to the Spanish Championship after expressing their disappointment with the club’s decision to sack the Italian manager. According to Squawka, The Gunners are preparing a £35.5 million bid for Benzema who might be tempted to test out the Premier League after spending 6 years in Madrid. With a contract set to expire in 2019, he might push for a move in order to avoid spending 1 more year transitioning from a manager to another. Arsenal’s stability and the fact that they need a world class striker could be very appealing for the 27 year old who has only played for two clubs in his entire career.
