Not stating its true but the Guardian are reporting Higuain is after all set to complete. He is now reporting the Higuain deal is done 3 years 100k per week. At this rate though 'who knows' but Lowe is good.

(Sid Lowe) reliable journo.

It was posted by the Guardian at 11:30pm. Another twist.

I'd doubt we'd sign a player of his quality on a 3 year deal, because if we did we'd have to renew his contract next summer under our new contract policy

I agree, if it is in the Guardian, then it is worth repeating.

If Higuain was going to sign for Arsenal it would have been done already.

I do believe he will sign but its just typical arsenal dragging their feet. I just find it strange that no other clubs are in for him leading me to believe that the deal has been done but just not announced. Either that or it's just not going to happen and arsene wenger is being a complete a*** nal

To the poster who said about signing a player on a three year contract.

We got Theo to sign a three year contract in January.

Obviously you'd want Higuain on a long term (5 year) contract but wouldn't you rather he just signed?!

If it is for three years then we renegotiate next summer after he's banged goals in for fun and won us a trophy. We then raise his salary from £100k to say £115-£125k a week when we are even stronger financially and in line with FFP.

Bottom line. Just get him on board!

Fully agree with Greeny as long as we get the player signed up we can give him a new improved contract when we want. He will sign though we should just wait and be patient, any deals to be done i. e. Fellaini, Grenier, Higuain and Cesar will be sped up to try and have these players in the first team before our tour. Wenger wants his new additions to have a full pre-season with the club and their new teammates.

We didn't pay 23 million for theo though surely we won't pay all that transfer fee for just a 3 year contract
