have got themselves a bargain even though they
smashed their transfer record for Mesut Ozil.
The German was a deadline day signing from Real
Madrid, and his former teammate, now plying his
trade in Serie A, says that Ozil is one of the best
players in the world.
Speaking ahead of tonight's crunch Champions
League tie, the Argentine striker said, "With Ozil, the
Gunners have become even stronger.
"I believe that this deal represents the hit of the
market: paying €45million, Arsenal has really made a
big bargain. Mesut is one of the best forwards in the
world. I played with him and it was great.
"When I see all the transfers of the summer market, I
am increasingly convinced that Arsenal did the best
one getting him."
Higuain was linked heavily with a move to North
London during the summer and was proud of the fact
that Arsene Wenger had him in his sights, even if it
didn't work out in the end.
"I was honoured by Arsenal's interest," he said. "I
have great respect for Wenger and the idea to be in
his plans filled me with pride.
"But I think my decision to come to Napoli was the
best, I'm really happy with this choice."
And look, we dallied, he took his chance elsewhere
and c'est la vie. It costs us nothing to hope he's
happy there.
But not tonight.
Or in the return leg.
