Arsenal to make club record bid for Higuain?

According to a report in the Mail on Sunday, Arsenal are about to make a club record bid for Real Madrid's wantaway striker Gonzalo Higuain. The talented Argentine wants to quit the Spanish club in favour of pastures new.

Arsenal have been linked with a move for the forward but face competition from Italian side Juventus, German side Borussia Dortmund as well as some new interest from Manchester City.


The Gunners will bid a record 30 million Euros to bring the striker to the Premier League. Arsenal are hopeful that a deal can be reached between the two clubs and that personal terms should prove no problem now that the likes of Andrei Arshavin and Denilson are off the books; Arsenal released three players last week.


Higuain will make a decision on his future as soon as he returns from his holidays in early July.
