Arsenal does not need Karim Benzema, says Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger is adamant Arsenal are not desperate to add more firepower to their attack.

Wenger hasn't been particularly active in the window so far, signing just Petr Cech from Chelsea.

The north London outfit have been heavily linked to Real Madrid hitman Karim Benzema.

But Wenger is of the opinion that Arsenal don't necessarily need a new striker.

He said: "We are open-minded but we are not desperate.

 "Today we didn't have (Danny) Welbeck or (Alexis) Sanchez, who are big players.
 

"(Jack) Wilshere didn't play as well, so we will have a good squad when everyone is back. We are open-minded but many clubs are on the market with big, big money.

"At the moment our squad is well-balanced quality-wise and numbers-wise.

"When you win the FA Cup final scoring four goals,it showed scoring goals is not our problem."
