Juventus’ capture of Carlos Tevez has pushed Gonzalo Higuain closer towards joining Arsenal, in the opinion of the player’s brother and agent Nicolas Higuain.
Tevez has been snapped up by Juventus from Manchester City and, in bagging the Argentine, the Bianconeri have secured the top quality striker their coach Antonio Conte craved this summer.

The Real Madrid hitman’s agent then addressed the possibility of Napoli moving to sign Higuain, with suggestions floating he could be a replacement for Edinson Cavani, but Nicolas Higuain stressed that the ball is squarely in Arsenal’s court.
"Napoli? They are a strong team and have a special meaning for Argentines. But I cannot deny that he is closer to Arsenal."
