Martin Keown: 'Karim Benzema would make Arsenal feel invincible'

Martin Keown says that Arsenal will be title favourites if they sign Real Madrid Karim Benzema.

Former defender Martin Keown has said that Arsenal would feel "invincible" if they signed Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema.

The Frenchman looks set to stay at Real Madrid but Keown thinks that Arsenal would be favourites for the Premier League title if they signed him.

"I think there is no doubt about it, I've been in that dressing room when a top player comes in, it sends a ripple through the dressing room you feel almost invincible and on the outside the opposition look at how good you were before and think how much better you will be now," Keown told talkSPORT.

"Why not go for Karim Benzema to play down the middle. I think Manchester United are just as keen to get a striker in as Arsenal so perhaps those two will be bidding against each other to bring someone in at the last minute."

Keown was part of the unbeaten Arsenal squad in 2002.
