Arsenal fans don’t react well to missing out on Gonzalo Higuain

What is it about Arsenal and missing out on strikers?

The London club weren't exactly bristling with attacking options last season, so for many fans filling this position with a world class player was a priority. Despite some grumblings, Arsenal went in for Leicester and England frontman Jamie Vardy to fill the void, triggering the 29-year-old's release clause. But the Premier League winner eventually snubbed the Gunners in favour of signing a new four-year deal with the champions. So attentions turned to landing another high profile star to fire them up the league in the new 2016/17 campaign, after finishing 10 points behind the Foxes last season. Gonzalo Higuain was the name on everyone's lips and the Napoli frontman was repeatedly linked with a move to Arsenal in recent weeks. Napoli's president even called on Arsene Wenger to make an offer for the 29-year-old forward as it looked likely that he would move on this summer. So it won't have made pleasant reading for the Gunners faithful to see the Argentine undergoing a medical at Serie A rivals Juventus. https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/756792549176729601?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/756793308307914752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/756795094771073024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw For some Arsenal fans the news that another one had got away was just too much to bear... https://twitter.com/DonDarmian/status/756832197357731840 https://twitter.com/stuartbutler100/status/756831804775079936 https://twitter.com/surajjaisi505/status/756831357376921604 https://twitter.com/ray_ray1_6/status/756830268145672193 https://twitter.com/hassanova7414/status/756829763227049984 https://twitter.com/orch99/status/756814873091268608 https://twitter.com/BAAZINI/status/756828145647357952 https://twitter.com/dan_saga/status/756827945927372801 https://twitter.com/mirnayil218/status/756839247617859584 https://twitter.com/Adam__Wood/status/756841079392112640 Others were slightly more philosophical though... https://twitter.com/_Deji95/status/756809926090100736 https://twitter.com/whatgap/status/756840411344273408 https://twitter.com/matthewKett/status/756833781345034240 https://twitter.com/BoFhaidan/status/756830739740647424 https://twitter.com/COYG2806/status/756829548600320000 https://twitter.com/FPLpunk/status/756828023261958144 https://twitter.com/punkrockshake/status/756828363646394368 https://twitter.com/Im_Antz/status/756827082378842112
