Arsenal legend Thierry Henry
believes that getting Madrid striker Karim Benzema will make Arsenal major EPL
and UCL contenders.
Rumour has it that Gunners are interested in the
Frenchman, with Wenger wanting him on a long-term basis. Madrid insist though
that Benzema is going nowhere.
Henry is positive about the current Arsenal side, but
feels Giroud needs to be supported up front and sees Benzema as an ideal
candidate.
“I always say it’s their year but there is a genuine
buzz around the place right now,” he told talkSPORT.
“I think they can challenge this year for real if they
stay injury-free.
“Giroud alone as a striker there – you can’t win the
league, you need another type of striker.
“I think Giroud is doing really well – he went on to
score 14 goals in 18 games, that’s amazing – but sometimes you need a different
type of striker and I think that, if they can get Benzema, suddenly they are a
real title contender and also in the Champions League.”
