Arsene Wenger open to striker arrival at Arsenal

To Arsenal fans, who would you guys like this potential striker to be? Arsneal manager Arsene Wenger remains open to the prospect of a striker joining the club in the summer transfer window.

The Gunners are playing the waiting game over their interest in Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema although the Frenchman's agent has insisted he is staying with the Liga giants.

The Gunners smashed Lyon 6-0 in the Emirates Cup on Saturday, with Olivier Giroud one of six different goalscorers, and when quizzed on his pursuit of a striker Wenger revealed that he is "open minded" over a potential deal.

"Let's not forget we scored in our recent games; three, four, six today. And we had not Welbeck, not Sanchez. That means we have an offensive potential. 

"We want to add a few more goals than we did last year but I feel at the end of the season we created more chances and hopefully we can confirm that. Having said that, in the transfer market we are open minded. We are as well not in a desperate need."

Aaron Ramsey, meanwhile, who was also on the scoresheet against the Ligue 1 side, insists that the north Londoners can challenge for the Premier League title in the 2015-16 campaign.

He said: "Absolutely [Arsenal can challenge for the title]. We finished off the season really well last year. Hopefully now we can start the campaign as we left off and throw ourselves in contention early on. 

"That's important because as we saw last year, Chelsea did not slip up at all and that's going to be important for us to start the season well. We have the players, we have the squad and hopefully we can keep everyone fit throughout the season and we'll have a great opportunity then."
