Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted he tried to sign Gonzalo Higuain in the summer as he prepares to face the Napoli striker in the UEFA Champions League.

Higuain insists he is happy with his decision to snub other interest to make the move to Napoli. "I am very happy that I have joined Napoli," continued Higuain. "We have started well in the league in Italy and have got off to a good start in Europe too. "I know there was other interest from England and Italy, but I am very sure that I made the right choice by joining Napoli and have no regrets. "It is a club where I can achieve everything I want."
