Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal doesn't need Karim Benzema and that his club already has enough players capable of scoring goals.

There have been widespread reports Benzema could be sold by Real Madrid to Arsenal.

Olivier Giroud and Danny Welbeck are the only natural strikers in the current Gunners squad.

"I respect Thierry Henry's football knowledge, but it is not as simple that you just sign a striker like Benzema and then mathematically you win the title. It doesn't work like that," Wenger told Sunday newspaper reporters.

"It is important to have a top striker, but I think Giroud will not be far from 20 goals. If he played the whole season he would have scored 20 and [Theo] Walcott as well.

"I am not concerned about the goals in our team. We look like we can score goals when we go forward and I think we have to depend less on one guy who can score. We need to develop the collective aspect.

"A guy like [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain should have an ambition to score 10 goals. [Alexis] Sanchez can score more goals. I think [Mesut] Ozil has to fix himself a target of at least ten goals every year playing behind the striker.

"We can share the goals around, more so than when Thierry played. Then you knew before the game he would get you a goal, but the dynamic of this team is different and we have many attacking options in this team."
