Arsene
Wenger is ready to splash the cash having seen his side secure that all
important Champions League berth and according to the Daily Telegraph the Gunners number one summer target comes in the form of Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain.
The
26 year old Argentine, said to be available for an Arsenal club record
fee of £19m, appears set to leave the Bernabeu this summer as Real
Madrid look to conduct something of a squad shake-up.
Higuain has struggled for a regular run in the Real Madrid first team
during Jose Mourinho’s reign but has still scored with alarming
regularity. Another member of the Spanish giant’s squad is also on
Wenger’s wish-list with Karim Benzema also interesting the Arsenal boss,
though one imagines he may cost the North London club a fair bit more
than his team-mate.
Wenger
confirmed last week that he was in talks with Auxerre over the signing
of young forward Yaya Sanogo and it certainly seems as though beefing up
his attack is the French manager’s top priority. Moves to capture
Fiorentina forward Stevan Jovetic are also continuing apace.
New
commercial deals, most prominent being with Puma and Emirates, will
result in a massive boost to Wenger’s financial pulling power, which in
turn will allow the long serving Arsenal manager to break the club’s
wage ceiling to help attract big names this summer.
As well as a search for a prolific forward Arsenal are also scouting for a new keeper, a defensive midfielder and a right-back.
This
source believes that Stoke City’s Asmir Begovic, Toulouse battler
Étienne Capoue and Borussia Dortmund wide-man Lukasz Piszczek have
respectively been scouted to fill those positions.
