The Sports Lowdown For All Your News and OpinionsThe transfer window is just under two weeks away from closing and clubs are looking to finalize their squads for the winter period of League, Cup and possible European action.
It has been a busy summer transfer window but there seems to have been a lack of a particular marquee signing and with the troubles of a number of sides expected to be at the top table come May, there is every possibility that clubs could go all out to get a signing that will rock their challengers or panic buy and pay over the odds for little quality.
Here at the Sports Lowdown, our writer Ethan Gore discusses 5 possible transfers that could happen before the window closes.
1. Karim Benzema to Arsenal
Karim Benzema to Arsenal has been a heavily tipped transfer for a few weeks now and many people have been convinced that it’s going to happen. The French striker would easily add quality to Arsenal’s attack and would immediately slot into the Gunners first-team with the experience and ability he’s got upfront, potentially giving them a chance of winning the prestigious Premier League trophy.
The 27-year-old striker would cost in the region of £40-50m but the goals he could add for the Gunners will easily make that fee plausible. Benzema has consistently performed for Real Madrid as proven by scoring 20 goals or more for the past five seasons. There’s no denying that the Frenchman would be a Golden Boot contender should he join the North London club.
