Wenger - Higuain was one of our targets

Arsène Wenger has confirmed that Gonzalo
Higuain was an Arsenal target in the summer.
Newspaper reports linked the Argentinian striker to
the Club but he eventually joined Tuesday's
Champions League opponents Napoli from Real
Madrid.
"We were working on two or three targets and he was
one of them," Wenger said. "It didn't come off in the
end, that doesn't take anything away from his
quality.
"Napoli took advantage of that at the right moment,
it's more about timing as well.
"In the end Real Madrid sold two great players, one of
them went to Napoli, one [ Mesut Ozil] went to
Arsenal so it's 1-1 on that front."
