On Sunday 9th August 2015, Arsenal faced West Ham in the opening game of the season. I visited the Emirates to support the home side Arsenal. West Ham showed great character but Arsenal were disappointing. There was a lack of precision and creativity when Arsenal was on the attack. Also, Petr Cech had a horrendous game with two of his mistakes leading to two goals, which lead Arsenal losing the game.
So, what’s next for Arsenal? There is still more than half of a month until Deadline Day. In my opinion, Karim Benzema would be the best player to buy. All the chances Giroud had on Sunday; Benzema would have tucked them in. As Thierry Henry said on Sky Sports, ‘’I think if you get Benzema, not only will you challenge for the league, but you also challenge for the Champions League."
Benzema is outshined at Real Madrid because of players such as Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo. This is exactly the same situation as Alexis Sanchez, outshined by Lionel Messi and Neymar and joins Arsenal to become one of the stars in the Premier League. Karim Benzema would be a perfect fit with Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott. If Benzema joins Arsenal, it will give Arsenal a unique attacking threat. I honestly think that if Arsene Wenger does the business, Arsenal will win the Premier League and go far in the UEFA Champions League.
