With Robin van Persie prone to injury and Nicklas Bendtner and Marouane Chamakh both struggling for form in recent months, Arsene Wenger is keen on strengthening his attacking options when the transfer window reopens.
Wenger's main target is fellow Frenchman Karim Benzema, who is currently plying his trade at Real Madrid after a big money move from Lyon in the summer of 2009.
The France international has been in good form this season after a difficult start to his career in Madrid but Jose Mourinho may be willing to cash in on him if the Gunners are willing to pay the £25 million asking price.
