French star striker Karim Benzema confirmed via his twitter account that he is not going anywhere this summer. Arsenal fans must finally stop dreaming about signing the former Olympique Lyon forward.
Nevertheless, the Gunners still need to add a quality striker this summer and the latest name in the limelight is Russian international and Dynamo Moscow star Aleksandr Kokorin.
Metro cite reports in Russian media claiming that Arsenal are in pole position to hire the services of the 24-year-old striker and the deal to sign Kokorin is reportedly close to completion.
As per the provided Metro link, the Gunners are not the only Premier League club interested in signing Aleksandr. Tottenham and Manchester United are eager to secure his signature him as well.
Kokorin has so far scored 77 goals in his career and it will be fair to say that he is not good enough to help Arsenal win the Premier League title. The North Londoners must sign someone like Edinson Cavani.
