Real Madrid striker heavily linked with Arsenal

Arsenal are set to firm up their interest in Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema in the summer, according to reports.

The Daily Mail say the Gunners are keen on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Robert Lewandowski, but those two players are more unlikely to move to the Emirates.

Benzema has scored 25 goals in 29 appearances for Real Madrid this season.

It was last week confirmed that he we won't be selected for France at Euro 2016 due to an ongoing investigation into blackmail claims against him.
