Wenger to follow up Cech deals with more big names.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is ready to get his chequebook out this summer as various press reports link the Gunners with four big names from Serie A in this transfer window.
Having already brought in Petr Cech from Chelsea early on this summer, Arsenal now hope to add more big names in various other positions, as they continue to show their new-found strength in the transfer market after buying the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil as well in recent years.
The four players, in deals that could reach £94.8m, are as follows:
1) Gonzalo Higuain (Napoli)
First up, Arsenal are being strongly linked with Napoli striker and Manchester United target Gonzalo Higuain once again this summer, with the Argentine international wanting out of the Italian club and possibly available for a fee in the region of £45m, which would make him Arsenal’s most expensive signing ever.

Linked strongly with a £21m move to the Emirates Stadium, Arturo Vidal is another Serie A star in Wenger’s sights this summer, with a deal now sure to be a priority for the club after missing out to Manchester United for the signing of Morgan Schneiderlin.
3) Jose Callejon (Napoli)
A Liverpool target who has been linked today with a £17.8m move to Arsenal, Napoli winger Jose Callejon could join the club as they complete a double swoop on the Stadio San Paolo side, who are facing the exits of star players after missing out on a Champions League place.
4) Kostas Manolas (AS Roma)
Finally, Arsenal also want to sign AS Roma centre-back Kostas Manolas for around £11m, with the Greek international impressing in his first season in Italy after being linked with the Gunners last summer.
