If report making the rounds is anything to go by, Karim Benzema may be putting on the red and white colours of Arsenal next season as the gunners are set to table a £40million bid for the Real Madrid hit man.
Arsenal Manager has already signed signed Petr Cech this summer from Chelsea and would be looking to add another high profile forward to his ranks in the mould of Benzema in other to challenge for the title.
The Frenchman has long been linked with a move to the Emirate stadium and the Sun reports that a deal is likely to go through this summer with negotiations to commence next week.
It is still unclear if the forward who scored 22 goals in 46 appearances for Madrid last season is in the plans of new Manager Rafa Benitez with reports suggesting that he could look in the direction of Gareth Bale or Christiano Ronaldo as a striker.
If the deal pulls through, Benzema would be the third marquee signing in as many years, following the arrivals of Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez last two seasons and last season respectively.
