First of all, the ex-Spurs and Manchester United man will be a more than adequate backup for Olivier Giroud, but also can be used as more than this. When Giroud's form suffers, as it seems to be recently, Berbatov can step into the frontline to provide the goals.

With Fulham's season not progressing particularly well, one may wonder why the club are selling one of their best players. Perhaps manager Rene Meulensteen has other ideas for his team. The fans of the club can only hope so.

There is no doubt that the hitman has passed his peak years, but in a team with service coming from players such as Cazorla, Ramsey and Özil, he would surely flourish. Criticised throughout his career for his lack of movement on the pitch, this wouldn't be a problem with Arsenal's style of play. Passes would be directly going to the former Golden Boot winner, rather than forcing him to make runs. These direct passes allow Arsenal to make the most of his effortless footwork, hold up play and outstanding finishing.

This acquisition would mean that Arsenal are strengthening what many consider to be their weakest point. Of course, Giroud is a talented player, he has proved that since joining the North London club, but if Arsenal are to return to winning titles, they will need more than one striker getting 15 goals per season. They need depth and, for now, Dimitar Berbatov can provide that and offer a lot in the waning years of his career.

The reported £2m fee may end up being a bargain (that is, if he joins). Something else that points to his arrival is that, on the official Dimitar Berbatov Facebook page, the account that is believed to be controlled by his handlers, but authorised by Berbatov, a video was posted. The video showcased Berbatov's talents and was entitled "Could Fire Arsenal To The Title". A strange post, considering that the move is not official. This does seem to show that he wants the move and this could be the final piece in the jigsaw for Arsene Wenger.
