Napoli's official radio station claims Higuain is heading to Arsenal
The host of 'Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli' claims that the striker will 'almost certainly' join the Gunners this summer
Napoli’s official radio station has claimed that Arsenal are set to sign Gonzalo Higuain from Napoli this summer.
Arsenal are prepared to offer Olivier Giroud to Napoli in an attempt to lure Gonzalo Higuain to the Emirates this summer. Arsene Wenger is in desperate need of a striker, and he believes the Argentina international, who scored 36 Serie A goals last season, would be a great addition to his team.
However, the Gunners are not prepared to meet the 28-year-old's collosal €94 million release clause, and are considering offering their 'inconsistent' striker to lower the price.
Juventus are also after the striker, but Radio Kiss Kiss' host believes that Higuain will “almost certainly” be heading to the Emirates this summer.
“At the moment the rumour linking Higuain to Juve is true, but I am certain that in the end Pipita will leave Napoli to go abroad,” said Francesco Marciano.
“He will almost certainly join Arsenal. For now the Gunners are offering €50m plus Giroud.
“Arsenal are trying to free up funds by selling players so they can increase the economic part of the proposal.”
