Transfer Rumour Rater: Dimitar Berbatov to Arsenal

Here's another potential solution to Arsenal's lack of depth up front: Dimitar Berbatov.

Berbatov has been one of the only bright spots this season for a horrible Fulham side that has slid into the relegation zone and has only 10 points thus far.

It is understandable, then, that he wants out of Craven Cottage, according to Darren Lewis of The Mirror.

Bleacher Report's Christopher Atkins said recently that Berbatov would be a great fit for Arsenal, but the striker would not work very well in Arsene Wenger's system.

Sure, he would likely be a short-term option off the bench, but Berbatov is the opposite of Olivier Giroud in many respects—the former is a static goal-poacher, while the latter involves himself in all aspects of Arsenal's attacking play.

Add that to Fulham's almost certain resistance to selling their most prolific player when they need him most, and this appears to be a rumor with little chance of actually coming to fruition.
