Arsenal are willing to break their transfer record to land Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain. The Telegraph says Gunners boss Arsene Wenger was interested in Higuaín before he even joined Real Madrid from River Plate in 2007 and there is a feeling that he could now be attainable for what would be a club-record transfer fee of £19 million.
Karim Benzema, another Real Madrid forward with an uncertain future, is also a player Wenger has long admired and it is this calibre of established forward that Arsenal want to sign.
