Arsenal Transfers: 5 Strikers Wenger Should Sign Instead Of Stevan Jovetic

5. Gonzalo Higuain

Higuain Gonzalo Higuain is a far more prolific goalscorer than Stevan Jovetic and what's more, he's available, too. Real Madrid have already admitted they are willing to sell the Argentinian as they plot to wrest the La Liga crown from the clutches of newly-crowned champions Barcelona next season, and the 25-year old does not figure into their long-term plans. He has fallen down the pecking order at the Bernabeu with Karim Benzema being preferred as a strike partner to Cristiano Ronaldo this season but despite being used sparingly this term, has still managed to net 17 times in all competitions. It is thought Real would demand at least £20 million for the star but that is relative short change compared to the £70 million Wenger has in the kitty. And if he Higuain replicate his form from last season that saw him net 26 in 54 games, Arsenal will have themselves a player capable of firing them to glory once more.
