Arsenal are believed to be close to signing Real Madrid striker, Gonzalo Higuain, after manager Arsene Wenger reportedly met the player and his father in Paris.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, has said that the Argentine is free to leave the club, after the 25-year-old announced that his time at the Santiago Bernabeu was over. It is believed that Wenger will land the frontman with a bid around £20million.
Higuain’s father, Jorge, confirmed that the Gunners were interested in his son.
He said: “Madrid will want to sell. Juventus or Arsenal? I guess he has spoken with them
“The clubs first have to talk to Madrid and in direct negotiation. Higuain currently has three years left on his contract.”
Higuain is now Wenger’s top priority, although he retains interest in Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney, David Villa and Stevan Jovetic.
