Arsenal could make Marouane Fellaini club record signing even if they capture Gonzalo Higuain
Arsenal could be set to break their club record transfer fee twice in a matter of days if they manage to seal the signings of both Gonzalo Higuain and Evertons Marouane Fellaini.
The Gunners are desperately seeking to bolster their squad ahead of next season, as they try to end their eight-year trophy drought.
And midfielder Fellaini is believed to be the next man in their sights after Madrid striker Higuain.
Arsene Wenger is reportedly willing to fork out £22m for the Argentine international which would be a club record fee but could surpass that almost instantly with a £23m swoop for Fellaini.
The 25-year-old Belgian international was thought to be a target of former Toffees boss David Moyes at Manchester United, but it now looks as though he could link up with ex-Goodison Park team-mate Mikel Arteta at the Emirates.
New Everton manager Roberto Martinez is keen to keep Fellaini on Merseyside, but a £23m bid would be enough to activate the Belgians release clause and see Martinezs star man quit the club hes been at since 2008.
But first Wenger must focus on sealing a deal for Higuain, with Serie A giants Juventus also vying for his signature.
