Six strikers that Arsenal should target – Part 2
Article Continued from Part 1
Gameiro has also been a part of the French national team since the Under-18 squad which he joined in 2004. Since then he has climbed the ladder through the Under-20, Under-21 and finally made it into the first national French football team in 2010 and has
represented his country three times.
Tottenham and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 are two teams that are reportedly after the striker and Arsenal will face stiff competition from both if it were to sign him.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350:
The French international has had a great end to the season with Real Madrid but he has suffered from a lack of playing time after Gonzalo Higuain returned from injury and the signing of the ex-Arsenal man, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emmanuel-Adebayor-c12526 on loan from Manchester City.
Juventus and Arsenal are interested in the young Frenchman due to his terrific goal scoring abilities. He is the perfect outright striker that Arsenal requires right now.
Benzema started playing football in 1995 then moved to Lyons training academy in 1994 where the player spent a little over eight years in the training grounds before making it into the big leagues in 2004.
Karim then spent another five years with Lyon and in the process managed to step onto the football field 112 times and net 43 goals.
His last move came back in 2009 when the Frenchman was sold to the La Liga giant Real Madrid and since then he has made 58 appearances for the whites and scored 21 goals.
If the Real Madrid’s boss, Jose Mourinho acquires another striker this summer with rumours surrounding the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-c8346 Tevez, it is highly likely that Benzema will consider his move away from Santiago Bernebeau.
However, Benzema will not come cheap and Arsene Wenger will have to pay a large sum to bring the Frenchman to the Emirates.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bojan-Krkic-c7794:
Krkic is the product of the La Masia academy and is a top quality player and a great future prospect. With over 150 Catalan appearances to his name already, he might just be the kind of player Arsenal want.
Bojan is also very versatile, that is he can comfortably play on both flanks, adding much needed width to the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 front-line. He can also play as a centre-forward, which is his preferred position.
The earlier signing of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629 meant that Bojan was left to warm the benches when all the first choice strikers were fit. He has become increasingly frustrated by the lack of playing opportunities and
has voiced a move away from the Nou Camp in order to get more first team football.
However, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 interested in the Arsenal skipper Fabregas and the club on the hunt for an all-out striker, the Catalan giants may well offer Wenger the player Bojan and money in an exchange deal for the Spanish maestro. This would turn out to be a
tempting offer, one that might be hard to refuse.
