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.
Until now Arsenal are still in the top 4 although indeed the performance is still not safe and they still have problems in terms of points but they still survive in the top 4 so far.
I don't think they will be too active for transfers because in the end for now even though they will definitely make movements towards player transfers but they will not be as active when transferring in the summer.
The reason is actually quite clear because we know that they are now aware that sometimes not everything has to be done with new players and currently Arsenal are still very well known as one of the most wasteful clubs in the EPL so for this January transfer they will definitely be more restrained.
It would be better if they maximise the situation by restoring the spirit of their young players who are currently a little eroded and look very lacklustre and Arteta's job now before their schedule gets busier is to do just that.
