Gonzalo Higuain’s brother and agent Nicholas recently admitted that the Real Madrid striker is ‘close’ to sealing a £22 million summer move to Arsenal.
This is great to hear. Many Arsenal fans rate the 25-year-old highly and are hoping to see him at The Emirates next season. Hopefully, firing us to silverware.
Lee Dixon reckons Higuain would be an excellent signing for his former club, should they pull it off.
The BBC pundit believes the Real striker will score goals and create chances, and I am inclined to agree with him.
However, there are some people out there that beg to differ, like Tony Adams.
The former Arsenal captain believes the club should stay clear of ‘cast-offs’, players that are not wanted by the best teams, and Higuain is, according to Adams, one of these players.
Higuain has been very consistent in front of goal for Real Madrid since signing for them back in 2007 from River Plate.
Despite racking up 48 appearances in all competitions for Real last season (30 as a starter), the Argentine was unable to attain a regular place in the starting line-up and pretty much played second fiddle to Karim Benzema.
Higuain managed to find the net 18 times and assisted eigthts – not a bad return taking into account he wasn’t first-choice under then Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho.
We could well do with a prolific striker coming in this summer, and I honestly believe Higuain is one of them, and would fit the bill at Arsenal.
However, others may see him as a waste of money and a chance not worth taking, like Adams.
So what do you guys reckon?
Do you agree with Dixon? That Higuain would be a great signing for the club and will score many goals for us next season?
Or are you inclined to agree with Adams? That we should stay away from rejects and ‘cast-offs’?
Let us know what you think below
With all the rumour going on, i do not think arsenal will sign Higuain
I think arsenal will missout on him. they just take to long to get it done they take ages to sign anybody. the ay I look at it is arsenal wont win anything next year because we wont buy anybody good so arsene will get sacked and me can move forward as a club
i tink he wot dat money wenger shud go 4 him
can anyone name somone as good for that money, dont say wayne rooney.
Wayne Rooney
I think he will complement Giroud and Podoski very well.He may not be like Van Persie, but now we have a decent strike force w/those three.Besides we have Cazorla and Walcott to score regularly as well.
yes we need higuain but firstly we need wenger to sign rooney den higuain will follow him
we realy need a classic striker to give us goals to win some silverwares
Definitely sign Higuin we need a forward but wenger needs to hurry up other clubs are interested.giroid was a waste of money and poldolski is not loyal I’m not being funny we need to get rid of wenger!
Not funny but you’re laughable.. and your comment is a waste of space instead. 17 goals and 11 assists in the first season in EPL is waste of money for you??
If arsenal won’t to sell players is the most fastest tin in football history. But to buy is always take time. Well as for m? i don’t see arsenal buy any one at this early stage maybe final they as usual. But mr wenger its only arsenal you can do all this shit not any team you wil be sack since am sure of that. Our board member are sellout
We need higuain,fillaini,ashelley williams and julio cesar.with them we can win silverware this season
Add Rouniy, Vanyema and Javitic to the list as well..
