He may be the fourth most expensive footballer of all time, but Gonzalo Higuain looked anything but when he made his first appearance in a Juventus shirt, during a recent pre-season friendly with West Ham. And now his fellow Real Madrid alumni, Robert Prosinecki, has poked fun at the Argentine's weight in rather cruel fashion.
The Croatian legend was stunned when he saw the £75m man appear overweight at the London Stadium and couldn't hide his disbelief when talking to Jutarnji List about the former Napoli hitman.
"I was shocked to see Higuain, he is even more fat than me! They paid 94 million [sic] for him and he's arrived as a little pig!"

"I can imagine how shocked Allegri was, after he insisted on his signing. But they will make him fit soon."
Allegri has just over a week to get Higuain back in peak condition, with 'The Old Lady' starting their latest Serie A title defence against Fiorentina on 20th August.
