What’s the story? Again, when were they not in the chase for Higuain? If they really have abandoned this to try and get Luis Suarez then they are playing an absurdly risky game.Does it make sense? They can get Higuain for less than Suarez. He’s got a better goal scoring track record. He’s younger. He doesn’t cause any problems off the pitch and he’s gettable. But Arsenal seem infatuated with Suarez for some reason.Is the price right? Even at the new price of £37m it still makes sense. 107 goals in 187 games for Real Madrid. What more proof of his quality do they need?Will it happen? 4/10 – This was near enough done a few weeks ago apparently but it seems that Napoli are in the lead at the moment.
