Hefty Higuain makes Juventus debut

Blockbuster summer signing Gonzalo Higuain made his Juventus debut Sunday in a preseason tune-up victory over West Ham, and from the looks of it, the Argentine international enjoyed his time away from the pitch.

An image that's certain to find its way splashed across the cover of Italian rags: this visual, paired with Sunday's announcement that Paul Pogba had been granted permission for a medical at Manchester United.

If it's any consolation to fans of the five-time reigning Scudetto champ, Pogba's departure covers Higuain's meaty €90-million price tag and leaves a few quid extra. Unlike its new No. 9, it wouldn't hurt Juve to have a few extra pounds lying around.
