Arsenal are reportedly working on deals to sign three La Liga-based stars in this summer’s transfer window, with Arsene Wenger keen to replace departing stars Santi Cazorla and Lukas Podolski.
With Podolski joining Galatasaray yesterday, and Cazorla strongly linked with a move to Atletico Madrid, it seems the Gunners could look to make a big-money raid on Spain, if recent stories are to be believed…
1) Arda Turan (Atletico Madrid)
Arriving as part of the Cazorla deal, Arsenal want to rival the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Barcelona for the signing of Atletico Madrid’s Turkish winger Arda Turan, who would be a good like-for-like replacement for the Spaniard. Worth around £30m, Arsenal could presumably sign him for much less if Cazorla moves in the opposite direction.
2) Pedro (Barcelona)
Linked with an £18m move to England this summer, Pedro is attracting strong interest from both Liverpool and Arsenal, and the Gunners’ need for the Spanish wide-man will be greater after losing Podolski as an option out wide, while the likes of Tomas Rosicky and Joel Campbell could also be leaving.
3) Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)
Finally, in a bargain deal worth just £17.8m, Arsenal have been linked with a stunning swoop to sign Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, who would be an absolutely ideal buy to replace Olivier Giroud up front.
