Arsenal could renew their long-term pursuit of Real Madrid’s 25-goal striker

Arsenal could reportedly renew their interest in France international striker Karim Benzema this summer, according to the Daily Mail.

The Premier League giants, who face Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon, have been constantly linked with moves for the Real Madrid forward during previous transfer windows.

The 28-year-old; who has 81 international caps for his country, but will not feature for France at Euro 2016 due to an ongoing investigation into a gang blackmailing of international teammate Mathieu Valbuena, has scored a sensational 25 goals in 29 appearances in all competitions for the La Liga outfit so far this season, including four assists.

Benzema, who has been admired by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger since he arrived at the Bernabeu from Ligue 1 club Lyon back in 2009, could be tempted into a summer switch to the Emirates Stadium after the Londoners reportedly pulled out of the race to sign Gabon and Borussia Dortmund ace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
