Arsenal boss Wenger shrugs off Napoli striker Higuain's performance

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger shrugged off Gonzalo Higuain's performance for Napoli after yesterday's 2-2 draw in the Emirates Cup.

The Argentine turned down Arsenal for the Azzurri.

"What can you do if every player I don't buy scores a goal and suddenly it is a disaster? They do not have to stop to play because they go somewhere else," shrugged Wenger when asked about Arsenal's failed bid.

"Higuain is a good player. If he had scored today, he would have scored today and it wouldn't have changed my mind."
