Gunners ready to beef up attacking options and other red-hot gossip

(30-11-2010) Arsenal are set to smash their transfer record in order to land Real Madrid star Karim Benzema. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is reportedly ready to act as early as January to sign the £25m-rated 22-year-old, who is a bit-part player at Real. Elsewhere, Liverpool want to bring Sunderland striker Darren Bent to Anfield but may be put off by the player’s £22m price tag; Tottenham winger David Bentley could become the latest EPL player to find a home at Turkish club Galatasary; and Tottenham midfielder Rafael van der Vaart says his heart belongs to Hamburg and although he is happy at White Hart Lane, he wants to return to the German club again one day.
