Arsenal to seal deal for Karim Benzema?

Arsenal could finally get their hands of long-term target Karim Benzema this summer, according to reports.

The France international has been linked with a move to the Emirate since his days with Lyon.

According to Spanish source Fichajes.net, the North London giants could sign the talented marksman for a fee of around £17.8m during the summer transfer window.

It is added that the fee would be sufficient to lure Florentino Perez into the player's sale.

Benzema scored 22 goals in all competitions for Los Blancos last term.
