Juventus vs Inter: 5 Talking points as Juve beat Inter on penalties

#3 - Gonzalo Higuain fails to make his opportunity count

Juventus v Tottenham Hotspur - 2019 International Champions Cup

Gonzalo Higuain's future has been subject to a lot of speculation over the course of the ongoing transfer window.

The Argentinian spent the second half of last season on loan at Chelsea, after terminating his initial temporary deal with AC Milan but failed to make an impact as he returned to his parent club this summer.

The Old Lady have the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Mario Mandzukic and Moise Kean competing for a place to spearhead the attack, due to which Higuain has been deemed surplus to requirements.

After getting his name on the scoresheet against Spurs, the 31-year-old was handed another start as Juve came up against Antonio Conte's Inter.

Higuain was largely isolated and failed to get involved in the game as Juve trailed 1-0 at the break and he was replaced at half-time, in favor of Mario Mandzukic.

In his time at Napoli, he broke the Seria A record for most goals scored in a league season under Maurizio Sarri but it looks increasingly likely that his future lies away from the Bianconeri.
