According to Spanish publication Sport.es., Arsenal HAVE reached a preliminary agreement with Real Madrid to sign striker Gonzalo Higuain at the end of the season.
The Argentina international has been told by Real Madrid’s general manager Jose Angel Sanchez that he is no longer needed at the Bernabeu and the Spanish website claim Higuain has agreed a five-year deal to join Arsenal with the club shelling out around £18.6 million.
Despite a decent return of 14 goals in 17 La Liga starts this season, the 25-year-old has struggled to cement a first-team place since Jose Mourinho took charge of the Spanish giants, with the former Chelsea boss favouring Karim Benzema over the Argentine.
Higuain has spent seven seasons at Real, netting a total (to date) 118 goals in 263 appearances in all competitions.
If this reported deal has in fact been reached and Higuain is heading to Arsenal in the summer, then kudos to Arsene Wenger for the quickness of this transfer and splashing the cash!

I don´t think so… To see is to believe. 🙂
I can’t believe that. Wenger most say that if that true first.
A Spanish rag trying to sell papers with the same bullshit the red tops make up.
ST renewals are up, so there will be lots of spin to convince the fans to renew their ST, we will sign no-one as the liar Wenger will tell us the squad is good enough, another season of same old same
Spot on mate!
Higuain! I still consider this as mere speculation. I will only be convinced if the story comes from the parties involved, by this i mean Arsenal,Real madrid and Higuain himself.
Its good news,but until i see him at the emirate stadium then,i’ll believe it
F**k off Tony. You are a cheap liar.
