| Karim Benzema is wanted by Arsene Wenger |
The France international is Wenger's top target as he bids to sharpen up his strike force.
Arsenal were stunned on Sunday by West Ham at the Emirates and Wenger has been told to beef up his attack.
"Arsenal are very close with the squad they have now – and I still think that Petr Cech will make a massive difference – but you cannot just go with Olivier Giroud as the only striker," Harry Redknapp wrote in his Daily Telegraph column.
And, according to the Daily Mirror, Wenger is keen - but doesn't want to pay Madrid's valuation.
Benzema will be 28 in November and has an injury which will keep him out of Madrid's first Liga game against Sporting Gijon on Sunday.
So Wenger is in no rush to clinch the deal but would like him before the transfer deadline.
