Arsenal have made a club record €30m bid for Real Madrid’s Gonzalo Higuain, a player who has been chased by the Gunners and Juventus for over a month.

The Argentine confirmed he would leave the Bernabeu this summer, and Arsenal appear to have moved into pole position for him, with reports in the Spanish media agreeing.

Up front

Arsenal’s bid is considerably better than Juventus’s for a number of reasons. For a start, they’re willing to pay the money up front to Madrid, helping them  to shop for a replacement. Secondly, Arsenal’s bid is €8m greater than Juve’s instalment-based bid, meaning Real have more than one reason to accept it over the Italian side.

Arsenal’s mercurial winger Gervinho has been the subject of interest from Lyon, Galatasaray and Newcastle during his mixed two years at the club.

Much as his performances have been mixed, the opinion from supporters on his departure has varied hugely. There were times where I think some of us would have driven him to the airport, and times where people have been unwilling to sacrifice a potential asset.

Right now, people’s views are more towards the ‘asset’ side thanks to his performances late in the season.

It seems Arsenal are being linked with almost every player going this transfer window. Many of these targets are being shunned by the media or the player themselves, while some are picking up heat, todays transfer updates are no different.

Fabregas Happy At Nou Camp

I will begin with Cesc Fabregas who remains to be linked to different clubs everyday despite stating his desire to stay at the Nou Camp.

Arsenal target Marouane Fellaini has made no secret of his desire to relocate from Goodison Park.

He’s recently teased Chelsea fans with a picture of him in a Chelsea shirt, asking ‘how do I look?’.

On FIFA, of course.

The transfer stories regarding Arsenal keep on coming in what is promising to be an exciting summer for the Gunners.

Fabregas happy at Nou Camp

Firstly, Spanish playmaker Cesc Fabregas is back in the transfer merry-go-round today, but this time he is trying to get off. Fabregas has claimed he is happy at current club Barcelona and stated he has not ‘opened his mouth once’ regarding leaving the club.

Fabregas has gained a lot of attention from England were Manchester United and former club Arsenal have been looking at the 26-year-old Spaniard.
