After a brilliant performance by France’s main strikers against Jamaica, rumors have it Wenger might want to reconsider his primary targets. Many said that the Gunners have yet to place a bid for Benzema because of his incompatibility with Giroud. It seems they were wrong as both strikers managed some impressive performances while paired in Deschamps’ starting line-up. According to Metro the French internationals should perform very well together considering they’ve scored three times in their last match before the World Cup tournament.

There were also rumors that the two not only have trouble getting along as teammates but also have some personal problems off the pitch. Even with these alleged problems, the two complemented each other perfectly on the pitch which gives Arsenal hope. Benzema who seems to want to move, could be the perfect investment for the summer. Not only could he play alongside Giroud but he could also replace his fellow countryman who had to perform in almost every one of Arsenal’s matches due to Wenger’s lack of options.

Benzema who despite being only 26 has accumulated an incredible amount of experience, currently represents the perfect combination of strength, skill and efficiency Arsenal need to keep up with attacking sides like that of City or Liverpool. The French international whose contract with Real will expire in 2015 could be given permission to leave Madrid who will probably start with an asking price of around £28 million which should not be an issue for The Gunners who announced a £100 million transfer budget for this summer.
