EPL 2013-14: Wilshere plans to make Gonzalo Higuain feel right at home at Arsenal... with a picture of his ex-girlfriend in the dressing room!

Jack Wilshere is desperate for Gonzalo Higuain to settle in quickly at the Emirates if he eventually signs for Arsenal this summer - and what better way than sticking a picture of the Argentine's stunning wife on the changing room notice board.
Higuain, who is one of the Gunners' main targets this summer, could aid the club's strike force this coming season, and will be welcomed by his team-mates in more ways than one.
After being shown a picture of Higuain's former girlfriend Soledad Fandino, Wilshere told ESPN: 'That's the sort of picture that will go right up on the bulletin board in the changing room.

'Some of the lads like to put up photos of other players' wives and girlfriends and have a bit of banter.'
But when asked who the culprits were, the England midfielder refused to budge, saying: 'I'm not going to say but it's not the English players. There are so few of us, anyway.'
Having finished in fourth place last season, Wilshere believes the calibre of players Arsene Wenger is targeting this summer shows the club are moving in the right direction, and Higuain tops the bill.

'I've never played against him, but anyone who plays for Real Madrid and Argentina has to be quality.
'You look at the type of players like Higuain we're trying to bring in and you've got to be encouraged.'
But Wilshere is under no illusions what the club must do to challenge at the top again, and savvy work in the transfer market is the first step.
'I think we need a few more, not to step right into the team but to add to the squad.' he added.
'We need our squad to be as deep as United's and City's. They can change their back four completely and still win. There's no way United would have won the Premier League trophy with 18 players.'
