London: Arsenal are close to confirming the signing of Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain for 22 million pounds according to reports in Spain and England.
Despite the 25-year-old's good goal-scoring record for the club, with 122 goals in 266 games overall, he has found himself somewhat out of favour in recent times, and looks to be part of a summer clear-out at the Bernabeu.
Arsenal have looked to capitalise on Higuain's availability, as they are still in need of a top class striker to replace Robin van Persie, who left the club in a shock move to Manchester United last summer. Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski have done reasonably well to replace the Dutchman, but Arsene Wenger is still keen to bring in a more clinical finisher.
The move should now be finally confirmed as the Spanish giants have now officially appointed PSG's Carlo Ancelotti as their new manager, and the Italian is expected to give the move the green light.
