Arsenal target Higuain in Juventus medical

Matt Stead

Arsenal appear set to miss out on Gonzalo Higuain, with the Napoli striker reportedly undergoing a medical at Juventus.

Earlier this month, reports suggested Arsenal were trying to broker a part-exchange deal for Higuain and had offered Olivier Giroud to Napoli in return.

However, according to Sky Italia, Juventus are poised to land the Argentina international, although the two clubs remain in negotiations for a fee.

Last season, the 28-year-old broke a Serie A record in scoring 36 goals and is understood to have a €94.7 million release clause in his contract.

Juventus have already weakened one of their title rivals, having signed Miralem Pjanic from Roma, which featured in our European transfers that you may have missed.
