With just 28 league goals in the last 2 seasons, is he really the striker to push Arsenal forward? No doubt that should Benzema link up with former teammate Mesut Özil it would be a recipe for goals.

1. Loic Remy
A proven Premier League goal scorer, Remy is clinical and has good pace which is what Arsenal currently lack in their current striker in Giroud.
