Karim Benzema

Despite being injured for part of the season, Karim Benzema still managed to score 24 goals in just 27 league appearances for Real Madrid. He has a knack of being in the right place at the right time, always ready to head in or finish any crosses put his way, as well as clean up the scraps of a rebound or save from a keeper.

He has a lovely first touch, great distribution, and can finish from anywhere in the box. With Real, he often finds himself among the score sheet, whether it be putting them in himself or setting up his teammates. His link up play with the other attacking players is nothing to overlook, and can be vital to any teams’ success.

Benzema would be a joy to watch at Arsenal. His passing ability combined with his offensive awareness means he will always be amongst the goals. He would be linking up with his old teammate Ozil, which would certainly reignite their team chemistry, resulting in more goals for the club.  With a french Manager in Arsène Wenger and multiple other French teammates, Benzema would feel right at home in the Emirates.
