Current Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud believes that he is capable of leading the line for the side this year, despite failing to trouble the scorers during their opening weekend defeat to West Ham, the Daily Express report.

Arsenal are close to clinching the £45m signing of Karim Benzema from Real Madrid, according to Italian journalist Emanuele Giulianelli. There are ways, including voucher sites that can get you money off all sorts of things,including shirts and other football related clothing, various ways of getting to the games and even on flights for when our Champions League adventure starts again.

Olivier Giroud is ready to restate his credentials as Arsenal’s top centre-forward, starting at Crystal Palace on Sunday. With Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Özil and Aaron Ramsey all capable of providing a goalscoring threat for the Gunners, Benzema’s runs off the ball would free up pockets of space in and around the opposition penalty area to be exploited.

Arsene Wenger wants to sign a new striker to boost his hopes side of competing for the title.

The north London club have been continually linked with a move for Benzema, who scored 21 club goals in all competitions last season.

Arsene Wenger says Danny Welbeck is three weeks away from selection, and the Arsenal boss expects Jack Wilshere to return from injury sooner than expected. The 28-year-old is quick in the field and has all the abilities to accept the Premier League challenges.
