Agent reveals Arsenal approach for Napoli striker Higuain

The camp of Gonzalo Higuain insist he's staying with Napoli.

The striker hit a hat-trick in their thrashing of Hellas Verona.

"I'm delighted that Gonzalo scored yesterday but I've never been concerned about his goal drought, and neither was my brother," the striker's brother Nicolas has told Radio CRC.

"Let's say that he had a few chances to score yesterday. Luckily, he tried his best and it went well.

"The rumours about Arsenal and Liverpool? Gonzalo has a contract with Napoli for five seasons so he's an Azzurro player.

"But I must say that no representatives from either club have contacted me. Shortly before he arrived in Naples, I was in contact with Arsenal."
