London's "Arsenal" team will likely be reinforced in the near future by Madrid's "Real" striker Gonzalo Higuain.

The "Gunners" will pay the royal club 22 million pounds for this Argentine player. It is also reported that the player would earn 130 thousand pounds a week at the London team.

The player himself stated in the final matches of the Spanish "Primera" championship that he plans to leave the capital team this summer.

Earlier, the Argentine national team member was also targeted by Turin's "Juventus", but the price for the Italian champions seemed unsuitable.

Initially, the management of "Los Blancos" did not intend to sell the 25-year-old forward to anyone unless a sum of 25.5 million pounds was offered, but Arsene Wenger managed to negotiate a lower price.

Higuain has been playing for "Real" club since 2007. During this time, the footballer played 266 matches and scored 122 goals.
