Juventus to beat Arsenal to the punch in pursuit of Real Madrids Gonzalo Higuain
Arsenal are set to lose out on another striker to Juventus, with the Italian side closing on an instalment-based deal for Real Madrids Gonzalo Higuain.
Juve already appear to have beaten the Gunners in pursuit of Fiorentina forward Stevan Jovetic and now look set to deny Arsene Wengers men once again, as they finalise an agreement for Higuain.
According to Italian paper Gazzetta dello Sport, Madrid are to allow Juve to pay for the striker in three or four instalments following a meeting between the two clubs.
The only remaining sticking point on the switch is the Argentina internationals transfer fee.
Madrid are currently thought to be holding out for 30m, but Juventus have only so far offered 22m.
However, the clubs could be prepared to agree a compromise of 25m a figure Arsenal would be unlikely to stretch to given their previous transfer dealings.
But the news does leave Arsene Wenger seeking a new striker and he could yet turn to Swanseas Michu to support Olivier Giroud in the Gunners attack, according to reports.
