Report: Arsenal line up Christian Benteke move

Arsenal are interested in signing Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke, according to reports.

Arsenal have set their sights on Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke, according to reports.

It is believed that the Gunners will make Benteke one of their top summer targets if they are unable to sign Porto striker Jackson Martinez.

The Mirror claims that Arsene Wenger could even prefer Benteke to Martinez due to his proven Premier League experience.

Benteke played in Aston Villa's 4-0 loss to Arsenal in the FA Cup final on Saturday.

He has scored 49 goals in 99 appearances for the West Midlands club.
