Henry talks up Benzema pursuit

 

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry believes the club should go all out to sign Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema this summer. 

 

The Gunners have been strongly linked with a move for the France international, though Madrid have been quick to cool speculation suggesting Benzema set to move to the Premier League. 

 

Henry, though, believes the arrival of his compatriot in north London would turn Arsenal into serious title contenders. 

 

When asked what impact Benzema would have at the club, Henry replied: "Yes, Arsenal would win the league."
