3. Gonzalo Higuain
A deal for Gonzalo Higuain to join Arsenal seemed all but done for a long time this summer, before the Argentine eventually ended up joining Napoli. The former Real Madrid striker had agreed personal terms with the Gunners, before Real increased their asking price from around £25million to the £32million that he eventually went to Serie A for. The skillful striker would have been an excellent addition upfront for Arsene Wenger’s side, and it’s puzzling to think that the manager wouldn’t meet that kind of asking price when he has seemingly been willing to pay far more for Liverpool’s Luis Suarez, who carries far more baggage and potential for trouble in the future.
