Should Arsenal go for this super-experienced free-agent striker this summer?

The 2022–23 PL season is the league campaign of Arsenal supporters’ fantasies. To say the least, the Arsenal have dominated this season.

This season, Mikel Arteta’s team has only lost three games; a loss to Manchester United, a loss to Manchester City, and a loss to Everton. They lead the league with 54 points, having won 17 games and drawn three. Mikel Arteta’s team has wowed everyone, and you can’t claim they haven’t won your heart. Many fans believe they will win the league this season, and various pundits have tipped Arsenal to win the Premier League this season due to their outstanding performances.

However, in my view, Arsenal could be clear of Manchester City by a much larger margin than two points if they just scored more goals.

Arsenal, in my view, needs a significant number nine player to be ahead by more points.

Arteta has relied heavily on Gabriel Jesus, but since his injury, Arsenal haven’t been efficient, with Nketiah failing to rise to the occasion when it counts. Saka has attempted in recent games, but Nketiah and Martinielli haven’t scored enough goals to assist him.

Arsenal, in my opinion, lacks a strong striker capable of scoring 25-plus goals. But take into account Real Madrid’s Benzema. He is a fantastic player, and Arsenal could take advantage of the fact that he could be available on a free transfer in the summer.

Wenger reportedly attempted and failed to acquire Benzema, but Arteta can now get him and use his expertise not only in the Premier League, but also to assist Arsenal when they compete in the Champions League next season.

Benzema, 35, may be old, but he, like Jorginho, can be offered a short-term deal to see what he can contribute as he seems to do every season…

  1. I dont think Benzema would be the answer for a number of reasons. Firstly I doubt he will suit Arteta’s style of high and consistent press, secondly the pace of the PL is different from that of the Spanish league and thirdly given his age to keep up with the PL pace would be difficult. Instead we should sign a younger striker preferably from the PL itself or someone having PL experience like Tammy Abraham. Also Balogun returning to the fold wouldnt be a bad idea if Arteta feels the time is right to give him consistent minutes.

  2. This writer appers to believe , hilariously yet foolishly, that Arteta is some sort of re-creation of Wenger and his long and failed campaign to attract Benzema. A much younger Benzema back then too.

    This fiasco of an opinion is sheer fantasy from within the writers too vivid imagination and has zero basis in fact or reality.
    More fool me for wasting my time by replying to him!!!
