da premier bet： Arsenal target Gonzalo Higuain is set to finally depart the Santiago Bernabeu this summer, according to The Independent.
da winzada777： The Argentine has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League this transfer window, but Madrid had been delaying any sale of the forward until they had a new manager.
But yesterday the club confirmed Carlo Ancelotti as Jose Mourinho’s replacement at Los Blancos, which is just half of the good news for Arsene Wenger. The Gunners were also set to fight Juventus for the 25-year-old, however the Turin side have now turned their attention to Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez.
This has paved the way for Arsenal to go unopposed in the race to sign Higuain, who looks set to complete a £22million switch to the Emirates stadium.
The move would smash the club’s record transfer fee paid for a player, which was originally £15m for Andrey Arshavin. And Higuain’s £125,000-a-week wage demands would make him the club’s top earner too, overtaking Lukas Podolski and Theo Walcott.
The Argentine has scored 107 La Liga goals for Real Madrid in six and a half seasons at the club. Only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have scored more than him in Spain in that period.
Will Higuain do well at Arsenal? Is he what the club needs the most?
