Gonzalo Higuain became the most expensive striker in Serie A when he signed for Juventus in 2015, after netting a whopping 91 goals in just three seasons for the Biancocelesti. As if that wasn't enough, the 30-year-old has scored 44 times in 83 matches for the Bianconeri, proving his dexterity in front of goal.

Currently, in his 15th season as a footballer, Higuain has earned 10 titles. While he has been a mainstay in the Argentinian squad, his father, Jorge Higuain failed to make even a single appearance for his country, though he played for some of the best South American clubs like River Plate and Boca Juniors.

Gonzalo, on the other hand, has played for top sides like Real Madrid and Juventus.
