Napoli left-back Faouzi Ghoulam dismisses talk of Gonzalo Higuain – “he plays for Juventus now, I'm not interested”.
The striker controversially left the Partenopei this summer, moving to Turin for a Serie A-record €90m after the Bianconeri activated his release clause.
“He plays for Juventus now, I'm not interested beyond that,” Ghoulam shrugged, speaking on Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.

“He plays for Juventus now, I'm not interested beyond that,” Ghoulam shrugged, speaking on Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.
“I won’t speak of him more than others. Football moves very fast, a lot of things can happen so now you’ll just have to talk to him.
“Juventus have a lot of champions, as do we. We shouldn’t focus too much on Gonzalo, he’s a player like any other.
“The important thing is to go there and play our football, if we do that we’ll get results 99 per cent of the time.
“We have to go there without fear, putting our heart and soul out there on the pitch. Every game is important, but this is a bit like the derby I played in France between Saint-Etienne and Lyon.
“We know it’s not a game like any other, but we’re still playing for three points. We have to sweat for the shirt and honour our fans.”
Napoli finished second behind the Old Lady last season, can they go one better this time around?
“We always take it one game at a time. We can’t say right now who will win the Scudetto. Everyone has seen how we, Roma and Napoli play.
“At the end of the season we’ll see which style brings the most points. The important thing is for us to give everything on the pitch.
“Our fans have put a lot of expectations on us, we’ll give the maximum, 100 per cent because we know how important it is to them.”
