REAL MADRID have told Arsenal they won't sell Gonzalo Higuain.

 The Argentine striker was thought to be on the verge of a £21m move to the Gunners.

But Real president Florentino Perez has cast doubt over the north London side's chances of landing the 25-year-old.
"We don't want Higuain to leave," he said in a TV interview.
"What's more no-one from Arsenal has come to us and made us any offers at all for him. There are no offers on the table."
Perez's comments are in stark contrast to a recent announcement from Higuain's dad Jorge, who is also his agent.
He revealed the player had been "given permission by Real Madrid to negotiate with Arsenal".

He added: "I will luckily to be able to see my son in the Premier League soon."
