Arsenal target Gonzalo Higuain turns down a mega offer

It’s still unclear whether Gonzalo Higuain will leave Napoli to join Arsenal thus summer, but what’s for certain is that the Argentine striker isn’t just playing football for the money.

Because if that was the case, Higuain would be doing a Graziano Pelle right now and moving to China.

Sky Sports’ Kaveh Solhekol has posted a eye-catching update on Twitter, reporting that Higuain has turned down £800,000 a week to play for Hebei China Fortune.

Hebei China Fortune have been splashing the cash in recent months, picking up former Arsenal forward Gervinho, Ezequiel Lavezzi and former Chelsea player Gael Kakuta. So what’s with Arsenal & Gonzalo Higuain?

 Right now, it’s not looking good for the Gunners. On Wednesday, Raffaele Auriemma, the journalist who spoke to Olivier Giroud’s agent yesterday about his possible switch to Napoli, reported that Arsene Wenger has cooled his interest in the striker after news of a scheduled meeting with Napoli on Thursday was leaked.

 But could the professor be playing games?

We’ll have to wait and see…
