Due to the lack of a striker at Arsenal, Rio Ferdinand has suggested that the Gunners go for Karim Benzema.
At 37, Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema continues to demonstrate the goal-scoring instinct that has defined his career. His exceptional footwork allows him to connect seamlessly with teammates, a rare talent that few players in the world possess.
Once again, the French striker made his mark by scoring Al Ittihad's opening goal in their recent match, sealing another victory in Saudi Arabia. The team is now at the top of the Saudi Pro League together with Al Hilal.
'I would go for Benzema. Loaned for six months
Meanwhile, following Arsenal's derby win over Tottenham, Mikel Arteta spoke what many Arsenal fans have been longing to hear: “We are certainly looking at the market to strengthen our attack. We have lost two important players: Bukayo for three months and Gabriel Jesus for a longer period,” he told TNT after the match.
The lack of a big forward in recent transfer windows has caused frustration among some Arsenal supporters. At the moment, despite not being a natural striker, Kai Havertz is the only player available to fill the number 9 role. In recent appearances he has been deployed in the top role but has missed some great opportunities to put the ball over the line, fueling anger among the fanbase.
Manchester United legend and TNT sports analyst Rio Ferdinand gave his view on Arsenal's attacking problems and suggested a bold move: “I would go for Benzema. Loaned for six months. Let's make it happen. Where are you, Arsenal fans?'
Benzema's current form is undeniable. He has scored eleven goals in the current Saudi Pro League season, level with Cristiano Ronaldo and just one goal behind Aleksandar Mitrović, who leads with twelve goals.
