Gonzalo Higuain's brilliant response to the criticism of his weight will make you think twice calling him fat.
The Argentine forward signed for Juventus in one of the biggest moves of the summer transfer window for a staggering £75 million from fellow Serie A side Napoli. Though it was his physique which garnered everyone's attention.
The 28-year-old clearly enjoyed his pre-season when he appeared for his new club looking a little porky. Following packing on the extra timber, the feared marksman - 36 goals in just 35 matches last campaign - had to take his place on the bench until Allegri summoned him.
But it didn't take him long to make his mark as he found the back of the net minutes into his debut while welcoming the jibes using it to fuel him for motivation. Speaking to Tuttosport, he defiantly said; "It is better if you keep saying I'm fat, (as) I will continue to score goals."

"Come on, I'm fine, I have trained for 20 days and I honestly do not understand all this interest on my condition."
His playing career in Turin has gotten off to a great start following his debut winning goal against Fiorentina from only his third touch. Fat or not, that's how you make an impression.
