Dimitar Berbatov has provided Arsenal with a boost in their reported pursuit of Karim Benzema. Recent reports have linked Arsenal with a potential January loan move for the striker.
Benzema, one of the highest-paid footballers globally, has been playing in Saudi Arabia. However, there seems to be a trend of players regretting their decisions to move to less popular leagues for financial reasons. Jordan Henderson recently left and will continue the season at Ajax.
According to Berbatov, Benzema could also make a similar move and potentially spend six months on loan at a European club, with Arsenal being a potential destination. While such a transfer might be challenging, Berbatov believes that Benzema might have the desire to join Arsenal if the opportunity arises.
The former Manchester United striker explains via The Sun:
“Benzema would like playing for Arsenal because of their style of play.
“He has an interesting choice to make but right now he’d probably choose to move to a London club.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Signing Benzema would be huge because he is one of the best strikers of the last decade and just left Europe.
However, he earns a huge salary in the Saudi Pro League, which could be a problem for us to cover for just six months.

The Frenchman is over the hill now, and can’t be considered.
And Eddie is far under the hill, doesn’t even know where the hill is.
The coach must help Eddie improve. Signing players is good but it becomes bad when you have to fork out 100 million to buy an average player and get the media to hype him to justify his price tag. That is why I MISS Wenger.
This ship sailed years ago. Plus, he has no PL experience.
If we are looking for a Golden Oldie (which I doubt very much), we may as well go for Giroud from Ac Milan: PL experience and has played for Arsenal and physically imposing.
Very much doubt Benzene will sign for Arsenal but truth is
He’s still at 36yrs better than anyone we got at Arsenal.
But much better than two strikers we have right now. 9/14
The headline is so misleading. Upon reading it one would think Berbatov had some inside ingo but it turns out to be speculation.
CLICKBAIT & SENSATIONALISM per usual. Like Jon i can’t help but just sigh wrt this misinformation.
inside info (correction)
He is way too expensive. And at his age could be a no-for Arsenal.
