Higuain ‘Determined’ To Push Through Arsenal Move Despite Ancelotti Planning Talks
Gonzalo Higuain is still determined to push through a move to Arsenal despite new manager Carlo Ancelotti wanting to persuade him to remain at Real Madrid.
With the summer transfer window now open, there is plenty of gossip doing the rounds in the newspapers so we’ll keep you up-to-date with the latest transfer rumours. Today, more on Arsenal’s move for Gonzalo Higuain.
Gonzalo Higuain is still determined to push through a move to Arsenal despite boss Carlo Ancelotti wanting to hold talks with the striker next week to try and persuade him to remain at Real Madrid, according to reports in Spain.
In what’s becoming one of the transfer saga’s of the summer, Higuain’s protracted move to the Emirates has taken a number of twists and turns in recent weeks. Initially it seemed as though a deal had been agreed, then we heard he was coming to London for a medical, then Madrid denied a deal was in place saying we’d not even submitted an official offer, and now it appears Ancelotti wants to keep hold of the striker.
Spanish newspaper AS are reporting that the Italian boss wants to hold talks with the 25-year-old when the players return to pre-season training on Monday 15th July with the hope of persuading him to remain at the Bernabeu and fight for his first team place.
However, the report claims that Higuain is ‘determined’ to leave in search of regular first-team football and wants his agents to try and push through a move to the Emirates by the end of the week so he can avoid having to return to training and hold talks with Ancelotti.
It’s another interesting ‘twist’ and it will be a huge boost if true. Having Higuain wanting the deal done quickly can only work in Arsenal’s favour, so hopefully his agents make his wishes clear to Madrid and we can finally get a fee agreed with them.
The Arsenal squad fly out on our pre-season tour of Asia on Friday so with any luck the Argentinean international could be on the plane with his new team mates. Fingers crossed….
