Arsenal are launching a massive bid for Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain. It was confirmed earlier this week that Arsenal had been in contact with the Argentine's camp.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Arsenal will offer €50m for Higuain.

The Argentina international, who has a contract at the Sao Paulo until 2018, is understood to be unhappy with life in Naples after the Serie A club's poor season last time out.

And the Italian sports daily says Higuain's brother and agent will meet with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis in the next few days to discuss the player's exit from southern Italy.
