I know that Arsenal have found themselves the subject of speculation suggesting Arteta could try to land Benzema in a bid to solve their striking struggles but somehow I’m not convinced about this deal. I understand that Arteta needs a new No.9 after both Gabriel Jesus and Nketiah's struggles in front of goal this season. Honestly I would like Arsenal to look somewhere else for a new striker. Benzema is 36, his wages would be a problem for this Arsenal side and I don’t think Arteta can handle his ego.
They’re already good, decent strikers that can give them what they want in Benzema. There’s a certain Ivan Toney, Vlahovic and the likes.
Arsenal shaky this season and they're no longer in the top four this season after they declined in their performance in matches. Arsenal headcoach, Mikel Arteta have numerous options to triggered in the transfer window. He has scouts for potential forwards in the team. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, Edward Keddar Nketiah and Leandro Trossard, these are the frontlines that are held for the solidable foundation of the club. They're important and if Mikel Arteta valued them, he would worked on developing them and not search outside for new strikers because I see nothing wrong with the current condition of the club.
I think arsenal are responsible for the outcome of their present ordeal and should rather look for a possible solution, you can't possibly loose out of the title race twice in two seasons after taking the lead for a long time, I think Mikel arteta should make some changes in his team and also see how he can strengthen his defensive line up, earlier this season they looked like a side that was ready to do the unthinkable but right now they look like a ship that has lost her way on the ocean, Mikel arteta seem to be preparing a team for only the first half of the season instead of the whole season that's why the same thing keeps reoccurring over and over, that I would advocate for him to get a second eleven or engage the rotation policy so he can preserve some players for important matches.
