Striker
Gonzalo Higuain

So we meet again. Giroud wasn’t the answer, Podolski is more of a supporting striker at best and let’s not even bring up Chamakh. The statistics put Giroud in a favourable position, with 17 goals and 11 assists, but that doesn’t match up with someone like van Persie or even Walcott, who scored 21 in all competitions.
The worst kept secret today is Arsenal’s pursuit of Gonzalo Higuain, which will now become clearer after Ancelotti was confirmed today as manager of Real Madrid. Auxerre player Yaya Sanogo is still only 20 years of age, which is a certain push down the pecking order. David Villa is a closed chapter now and Stevan Jovetic looks inclined towards Juventus. Wayne Rooney is an interesting topic for certain after his current employers took over Arsenal’s most priced asset. Only a star name will do to fill this position, and Higuain looks ideal.
