Arsenal “hell bent” on signing long-term target this summer

According to a report emanating from Spain, Premier League giants Arsenal are interested in signing striker Karim Benzema from La Liga side Real Madrid this summer transfer window.

Arsenal want Frenchman

Spanish publication Daily Star, as cited by the Daily Star, is claiming that Arsenal are looking into completing a swoop for the France international in the summer transfer window.

Arsenal have long been linked heavily with a switch for the Frenchman, although it remains to be discovered how truthful the claims are, given that Arsenal have recently signed both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette to strengthen their strikeforce.

Real want to offload

As per the same story, La Liga side Real Madrid are interested in selling the French forward in the summer.

The same report suggests that the French tactician is a big fan of the French striker and that the Emirates club are now desperately working on putting an offer together.

The report also claim that Spurs striker Harry Kane is Real Madrid’s primary transfer target for the summer as the Spanish outfit look to strengthen their attack.

Meanwhile, the Gunners are currently getting set for the second leg of their UEFA Europa League last 32 clash against Ostersunds at home on Thursday evening.

The Nort London club won the first leg tie 3-0 in Sweden last week.
