Gonzalo Higuain is one name that Arsenal supporters need no introduction, not because of his accomplishments with Argentina national team or Real Madrid, but because of one of the longest transfer sagas footballing world has ever seen. It is being reported again that Arsenal are keeping tabs on the unsettled Napoli striker once again.

A whole host of European heavyweights are known to be interested in the Argentine with Juventus, Arsenal, Manchester United and Atletico Madrid reportedly tracking the 27-year-old for quite some time now. Juventus were widely reported to be in advanced talks with the player over a potential move in the summer with his brother Nicholas Higuain being involved. However, fresh reports from Italy claim that Arsenal are now the frontrunners for the signature of the world-class striker.

Gonzalo Higuain, despite his stardom, is expected to demand only £57,000 and with high wage earners such as Lukas Podolski likely to be on the move away from the north London outfit, Arsene Wenger would not find any financial difficulty in squeezing him into the wage bill. In addition, he could also provide quality competition upfront with Olivier Giroud being the only striker the French manager could count on with Danny Welbeck not being so lethal in front of goal.

The striker has been involved in nineteen goals in thirty games for the Italian outfit and could be an invaluable addition to the already acclaimed Arsenal roster given his mammoth experience and prowess.
