Arsene Wenger is a long-term admirer of the French striker and, despite appearing coy over a move in public, the Arsenal boss is pursuing a move for the ex-Lyon man.
Benzema, 27, is expected to play a supporting role in Madrid's attack next season with Rafael Benitez planning to use Cristiano Ronaldo centrally next term.
And Henry, Arsenal and France's leading scorer, believes Benzema would guarantee a fourth Premier League crown for Wenger.
'Yes, Arsenal would win the league,' said Henry.
'I think if you get Benzema, not only will you challenge for the league, but you also challenge for the Champions League.
'They need that type of striker who can be different to Olivier Giroud. Him alone as a striker all season, he is very good at what he does but you need to have that type of striker who can stretch a defence, a guy that can go in behind.'
