Benzema a key factor in the Premier League title fight? Transfer to Arsenal, whose biggest problem is scoring goals, makes sense

Karim Benzema left for Saudi Arabia after 648 games for Real Madrid, but it seems he is not very happy there. The media has been talking about his departure for some time now. The most talked about destination is London, where the French striker could be heading, specifically to Arsenal.

It is expected that Benzema will leave Saudi Arabia. All the more so after the 36-year-old striker failed to show up for a training camp, according to MARCA, forcing him to be ruled out of the Dubai tour.

Now it is apparently only a question of where the French striker will head. A number of Premier League teams are in the running, but also Lyon, where he started his great career and from where he left for Real Madrid.

Arsenal’s biggest problem

Arsenal were already struggling for the Premier League title last season and it is no different this season. However, they are currently 5 points behind leaders Liverpool. Something is still missing and it is not hard to guess what.

Under Mikel Arteta, you certainly can’t say it’s the defence. It’s simply great. Only Liverpool (18 goals) have conceded fewer goals than the Gunners (20 goals). It’s just that 37 goals scored is already a significantly worse statistic compared to the other teams in the top 5.

There is also no one from Arsenal in the top ten top scorers. The top scorer of the London team is Bukayo Saka with 6 goals. That’s just not enough to top the Premier League.

Benzema difference factor

Benzema is a hard worker and above all, he is a born cannonballer. This is evidenced by his 354 goals in 648 games. And there would be far more if he didn’t have to play Cristiano Ronaldo in particular. Even in Saudi Arabia, he proved that he still has it in him.

If he strengthens the Gunners’ squad and sits down with the team, Arteta would get a formidable weapon of mass destruction. It almost invites comparison with Erling Haaland’s arrival at Manchester City. It was with the Norwegian striker that the Citizens became a complete and utterly unbeatable team, as they confirmed last season by winning the much coveted Champions League trophy.

A transfer to Arsenal thus makes a lot of sense for Benzema. Much more than going to Lyon or Chelsea. And the same can be said for the Gunners. How everything will turn out is still in the stars. However, the server Team Talk talks about the London team as the biggest favourite to win the French cannonballer.
