Agent: Higuain’s future at Napoli

The agent and brother of Gonzalo Higuain has assured Napoli fans that the striker’s future lies at the San Paolo.

The 26-year-old had failed to get off the mark in seven Serie A matches, but that all changed on Sunday as he netted a hat-trick during the Partenopei’s 6-2 victory over Verona.

Higuain’s sibling Nicolas, who also acts as his representative, insists he was never worried about the Argentine’s drought and that neither Liverpool nor Arsenal have made any enquiries.

The agent and brother of Gonzalo Higuain has assured Napoli fans that the striker’s future lies at the San Paolo.

The 26-year-old had failed to get off the mark in seven Serie A matches, but that all changed on Sunday as he netted a hat-trick during the Partenopei’s 6-2 victory over Verona.

Higuain’s sibling Nicolas, who also acts as his representative, insists he was never worried about the Argentine’s drought and that neither Liverpool nor Arsenal have made any enquiries.

“I’m delighted that Gonzalo scored yesterday but I've never been concerned about his goal drought, and neither was my brother,” Nicolas has told Radio CRC.

“Let's say that he had a few chances to score yesterday. Luckily, he tried his best and it went well.

“The rumours about Arsenal and Liverpool? Gonzalo has a contract with Napoli for five seasons so he’s an Azzurro player.

“But I must say that no representatives from either club have contacted me. Shortly before he arrived in Naples, I was in contact with Arsenal.

“Objectives? At the moment, Napoli are far away from Juventus, but the season is long and if Napoli continue to play like they did yesterday, anything can happen.

“There are so many games still to play and Juventus are not unbeatable.”
