Arsenal Benzema deal could be bad news for Premier League clubs.
A look at five replacements Real Madrid could sign if they sell Karim Benzema to Arsenal this summer, including raids on Manchester City and Chelsea…
1) Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)
A long-time target for Real Madrid, Sergio Aguero was in outstanding form for Manchester City again last season and could be the ideal choice to replace Benzema if he leaves for Arsenal.

2) Diego Costa (Chelsea)
There was some speculation earlier in the summer that Diego Costa could seek an exit from Chelsea to return to Spain, and there’s no doubt he could be an immense buy for Real up front.
3) Gonalo Higuain (Napoli)
A former Real Madrid star, Gonzalo Higuain could find his way back to the club under Rafael Benitez, who may be tempted to raid his old club Napoli for the Argentine hot-shot this summer if Benzema leaves.
4) Edinson Cavani (Paris Saint-Germain)
One of the best in the world on his day, PSG striker Edinson Cavani has been linked with Real in the past and would be another smart buy to fill the void of Benzema up front.
5) Alexandre Lacazette (Lyon)
Real Madrid could also look to a player who looks like being the next Benzema in many ways, with Alexandre Lacazette shining at his old club Lyon. The Frenchman has been linked with Chelsea, Arsenal and other clubs but could be brilliant at the Bernabeu.
