Arsenal Transfer News: Real Madrid's Karim Benzema, Asier Illarramendi To Join Before Deadline?

Arsene Wenger has stated he is "not close" to another signing, as he described his difficulties trying to bolster his Arsenal squad ahead of the close of the summer transfer window. Arsenal have so far added only Petr Cech to their ranks this summer, and now have less than two weeks before the window shuts on Sept. 1. But, while expressing that he is still in the market for a new arrival, he was far from bullish about the prospects of getting a deal over the line.
