Arsenal to make 30m move for Real Madrid’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350
According to numerous sources and a number of reports, it seems like Arsenal might just be willing to break their age old transfer policy.
The Gunners are now said to be contemplating a move for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid forward Karim Benzema and are willing to spend as much as thirty million pounds to complete the signing of the player.
The French international was on the Gunners radar prior to him making the move to the Spanish club and it seems like their interest in the player still hasn’t dies out.
However, life with Madrid hasn’t been a treat for Benzema. The striker has often been considered to be nothing more than a fringe player and has spent an ample amount of time on the sidelines.
When Gonzalo Higuain went on to injure his back, Jose Mourinho opted to make a loan move for Manchester City striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emmanuel-Adebayor-c12526, instead of placing his faith in Benzema. He stated that despite Benzema being as good as he is, he just didn’t have the
cutting edge that Mourinho is looking for in front of goal.
On the other hand, Benzema has on a number of occasions gone on to pledge his allegiance to the Spanish club. The forward has said that he would fight for his spot in the starting eleven and won’t rest ill he breaks into the team.
Despite those being some bold comments from the striker, it seems highly unlikely that the forward is going to be able to do that.
The striker has made eighty one appearances for Madrid and has managed to score an impressive thirty five goals along the way, while picking up thirteen assists.
The strikes stats can be considered to be a whole lot more interesting, simply because of the fact that most of his appearances for the team have been as a second half substitute.
Arsenal are currently in desperate need of a forward who can spend an entire season with the team, without picking up an injury. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 has been brilliant for the team, but, his injury problems are a little too much for the team to cope with.
Benzema has proven over the course of his career, that he is a player who can give his side forty to forty five appearances a season and he seems to be in top form and shape.
The only thing standing in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429’s way to landing the player, is the transfer fee for the player. The Gunners have always been reluctant at stumping out money when trying to sign a player, but that might all change this time around. Arsenal are reported
to be willing to spend as much as thirty million pounds on the forward and should the team do just that, then they are more than likely to land the forward, before the end of the month.
