Arsenal make Gonzalo Higuain offer: Arsene Wenger prepared to sacrifice Gunners ace
ARSENAL have reportedly offered a player plus cash deal for Napoli star Gonzalo Higuain.
Gonzalo Higuain has scored 30 goals in 63 appearances for Argentina
The 29-year-old striker enjoyed a stellar 2015/16 season, netting 36 goals in 35 Serie A games.
And he played a key role in Argentina’s run to the Copa America final last month.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has been under pressure following his side’s failure to mount a sustained challenge to title winners Leicester last season and he has already splashed out £34m on Granit Xhaka this summer.
If the proposed deal for Higuain does go through, he will become Arsenal’s record signing - taking into account Giroud’s current market value.
