Higuain to Arsenal almost done..

Spanish media outlet, AS, last night reported that
Arsenal have tabled a £25.3million (€30million)
bid for Real Madrid striker, Gonzalo Higuain and
hope to complete the deal by Friday.
Just yesterday afternoon, Florentino Perez
denied that there has been any official bid from
the Gunners, despite stories claiming that both
clubs had agreed a £25.3million deal for the
Argentine.
The Real Madrid president told Univision that
they wanted to keep the frontman, saying: “We
don’t want him to leave. And besides, nobody
from Arsenal has come here to present an offer
for him. Not 27 million or anything. There is no
offer.”
However, it is believed that Perez was trying to
squeeze out more money from Arsene Wenger
and if the reports of a new bid are true, then the
protracted transfer saga might be closed this
week.
