10 most expensive signings in Serie A

#8 Gonzalo Higuain – € 38m

Higuain broke a 66-year-old goalscoring record last season when he scored his 36th in Serie A

The subject of intense transfer speculation presently, Gonzalo Higuain completed a big money move only three seasons ago. The Argentine moved from Real Madrid to Napoli with Napoli forking out a club record 38 million Euros for his services. Higuain has repaid their faith by scoring bucket-loads of goals.

His exploits led him to break a 66-year-old record as top scorer in Serie A, when he scored 36 goals in the competition, last season. His performances in front of goal, in a league notoriously difficult for strikers, have led to an intense bidding war between Juventus and Arsenal, for his services.

If there is one chink in 28-year-old Higuain’s armour, it is his inability to reproduce his club form on the international stage. Vilified by Argentina fans for his glaring misses in both the 2014 World Cup final as well as the 2015 Copa America final, Higuain would be itching to set that record straight when he dons the Argentina jersey in the future.
