Napoli have left former striker Gonzalo Higuain out of their all-time greatest XI of Argentine players.

Higuain scored 91 goals in 146 appearances for Napoli between 2013 and 2016, even setting the Serie A record for most goals scored in a single season during the 2015-16 campaign with 36.

However, he left for Juventus in a then-Italian record €90m deal just months later, burning all his bridges with the club in the process.
