There’s a month left of the transfer window and, despite Arsene Wenger’s public display of calmness, he’s desperate to add at least two new signings to his Arsenal squad.
The Gunners pulled off a huge scalp by luring Chelsea’s Petr Cech to the Emirates earlier in the window in an £11million deal but he remains their only major signing so far.
With a month left, Wenger is keen to add a striker and cover in defensive midfield as the Gunners look to mount a title challenge next season.
Real Madrid to accept Arsenal’s £40m bid for Karim Benzema
It’s been the saga that’s gripped Arsenal fans throughout the window but it looks close to coming to an end with Madrid conceding defeat in keeping the Frenchman at the Bernabeu.
The Gunners are believed to have had one bid rejected for the prolific forward earlier this month but Madrid are ready to accept a bid of around £40m for the former Lyon man.
With Rafael Benitez planning to play Cristiano Ronaldo centrally next season, Benzema is open to moving in the search for first team football and a deal could be close according to reports in Spain.

Gunners to bid £35m for Robert Lewandowski
Negotiations with Real Madrid for Benzema have been rumbling on for over a month and the Gunners are believed to have identified Bayern Munich’s Lewandowski as a fallback option should they fail in a bid for the French star.
The former Dortmund man has impressed since moving to the Allianz Arena and a deal would be difficult to pull off but reports say the Gunners are ready to test the Bundesliga giants’ resolve with a £35m bid.
Though Olivier Giroud was in good form last season, Wenger believes he needs a striker of the highest level to bring the Premier League trophy back to north London.
While a forward is Wenger’s priority, he has reservations over the fitness of Mikel Arteta and – despite his great form last season – Francis Coquelin.
It’s meant the French boss has kept a close eye on Busquets’ situation at Barcelona and the Arsenal manager has been encouraged with news that the Spaniard is open to a new challenge in England.
