The players Arsenal need to buy:Part 4 (St)

STRIKER
GONZALO HIGUAIN

Arsenal are very close to signing Higuain according to what i have heard,Higuain has been a prolific goalscorer for his club and country with 106 goals in 188 league games  and 20 goals in 32 games for Argentina.

Pros:
He knows how to put the ball in the net and that's exactly what Arsenal need right now a striker that can regularly score for Arsenal even when they are not at the top of their game.He can take players on,dribble past them and has decent pace and strength .Higuain knows how to handle pressure playing for a big club like Madrid and has loads of experience for someone who is relatively young.He has a very high conversion rate in la liga only behind Messi and better than Etoo,David Villa,Ronaldo and Falcao.
Cons:
He does not like to contribute to the build up play but is trying to improve this aspect of his game.He will not pose an aerial threat and he gets caught offside a lot.Wenger might need to change his style a bit for Higuain because in my opinion Higuain would really excel with a really good creative midfielder playing  just behind him kind of like the old days of Bergkamp and Wright.
Probability of transfer:8.5/10

WAYNE ROONEY

Opinions seem to be divided between Arsenal fans on Rooney,some would love to have him while others don't want him at our club because of his connections with Man Utd,I have hated Rooney ever since he has been a United player but i think that hate can change to love if he joins Arsenal and starts banging in some goals.
Pros:
Although i have always hated Rooney i have never doubted his ability as a player.He has loads of  experience at the top level,he would not need time to adjust and will fit right into our system.Rooney has a very high workrate,is very good at holding on to the ball, likes to drop deep regularly contributing to the build up play which is exactly the kind of striker Wenger prefers.The thing that i always liked about Rooney is that he always hassles opponents with his pressing,his determination is second to none.
Cons:
Rooney's off the field attitude can sometimes be disappointing which can affect team spirit.If he joins Arsenal he will be earning way more than other Arsenal players which can have a negative impact on other players.This is just a theory that i have that if Wenger or Ferguson let a key player leave without putting up a fight it means that player's good days are behind him.Ferguson continuously had a problem last season with Rooney's fitness and was not really worried about him leaving.
Probability of tranfer:7/10

I am pretty sure that both the transfers are linked if one player comes the other won't and Arsenal are at advanced stages with both the players.Which player would you like to see transfer to Arsenal ?
