Arsene Wenger: I will resist pressure to sign Karim Benzema
Posted Sunday, August 09, 2015 by Dailystar.co.uk
ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger says he will resist the calls to sign Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema.
Ex-Gunners frontman Thierry Henry said last week that if his former club could bring Frenchman Benzema to The Emirates, they could win the Premier League and also progress further in Europe.
But Weng said a deal for Benzema may not be the best way to go about improving his squad.
He said: "I heard Thierry Henry say if we buy Benzema we would win the title by a margin.
"I respect his views but football has evolved and the game has changed since he played here.
NOT HAPPENING: Wenger doesn't feel Benzema would be a good fit for Arsenal
"The out-and-out strikers are no longer there. Tactics have changed.
"You do need somebody to score goals and I think Olivier Giroud will not be far from 20 this season. Theo Walcott will be up there too.
"We have to develop our game and depend less on one player.
"I truly believe we can win the league. We look like we can score plenty of goals."
