The power of Premier League becomes evident when two teams from different levels of popularity and success engage in a competition to sign the same player.
According to Independent, Arsene Wenger is ready to chase Gonzalo Higuain again and this time battle West Ham United in the process. The London rivals are both eyeing the 28 year old Argentine striker who broke the Serie A goal-scoring record last season.
Arsenal have recently missed out on Jamie Vardy and are desperate to improve their attacking options up front. As per the report, the Gunners may even be willing to include Oliver Giroud as part of the £42 million bid they are ready to table.
West Ham United, had come close to the Champions League spot last season and this year wants to go all the way. They are also switching to their new 60,000 seat Olympic stadium and want to make a marquee signing for that.
