Ardiles backs Higuain to make impact in the English summer

Real Madrid striker Higuain is expected to move to England this summer and is likely to sign a deal with Arsenal.

Ardiles, however, believes that Higuain can make an impact in England this summer. The former Tottenham boss said: “Van Persie is a super player, one of my favourites and one of the best in the Premier League last season, along with Gareth Bale.

“Can Higuain be as good as Van Persie? Of course he can, that’s how good Higuain is.

“You remember when Van Persie arrived he was not exactly, immediately, the best player, it took a bit of time. But he was younger, now Higuain is much more experienced.

“Higuain is a top player. He will always score goals. He likes to be in the box all the time and he works hard for his team, wherever he goes he’s going to be great for the team he’s joining.”
