Is Higuaín the answer?

As the possible transfer of Gonzalo Higuain to Arsenal looks ever more likely the question must be asked, is he the answer to Arsenal's needs? This deal is not one that anyone would associate with Arsenal with the fee in excess of £20m and if reports are to be believed, wages in the regions of £110,000 per week. Despite this it is clearly apparent that Arsenal are finally going to spend big and I feel that if they spend right it will be there best chance of winning the title for many years but will Arsenal really spend well or simply enough? All the other clubs in the top 4 face uncertainty, all entering the new campaign with new managers in place and this is something Arsenal will seek to take advantage of. In the past five or so years Arsenal have seen themselves fall away from the 'bigger' clubs both on the pitch and in the transfer market, with the constant unwillingness to pay big figure fees and wages. There is no doubt that Higuain has proven himself at the highest level with 107 goals in 187 games for current club Real Madrid, and in the current market many would argue that the reported £22m fee represents good value. There are not many opportunities like this that Arsenal will get, the chance to sign one of Europe's top marksman for a reasonable price and if this deal is to be completed along with two or three other top quality players, Arsenal may be able to mount some sort of challenge. The signing of Higuain alone will not be enough, it will simply be a step in the right direction. If Arsenal are really going to mount any sort of challenge for the title then they must also invest elsewhere, with a goalkeeper, centre back and commanding central midfielder alongside a striker all being essential.
