Any one heard much about him, apparently we will beat United and make a move for the 18 year old from River Plate in January....

He is argentinian and french, and he will play for french national team. He looks very promising and everybody is very exciting by him in France so is Domenech...

I've seen abit of him before. Did very well in the game against Boca in October. Don't know whether he's a pure striker or an attacking midfielder. But he seems to have a good finishing ability.

He's born in France and has a French passport. So there would be no work permit issues for him if he'd have to move to England. His contract is partly owned by Pini Zahavi the super agent who supposedly has a decent relationship with Chelsea and RA (if reports were to be believed).

Higuain

"Higuain has thus far refused all call-ups to the Argentina youth set-up - but the player is yet to disclose a preference for either country."

Domenache's very interested.

No Thank you, we have enough talent right now and besides from the look of that video he wouldn't add much to our team

He's just that little bit further developed than Sahar and Sinclair...could be ready to provide another option for the first team.

If Jose and co. decides that he's good enough, I'm all for it.

He looks really good. It seems like he has good right and left leg.

Apparently he is still not sure weather he will accept playing for France, he will speak to his Argentine parents on Monday.
But he looks some talent, Crespo started his football at River Plate is well and he hasn't done bad!
Doesn't mean any thing at all but on a poll from Eurosport we are favourites to sign him......

Pini Zahavi owns half of his contract?

And he's still mentioned seriously as being touted around?

This is the way he raises interest among others. Use our name and others become interested. If we were genuinely interested he wouldn't get mentioned at all.

Some people are such mugs...

He looks good on Youtube. But even I'd like good on Youtube if you edited my five-a-side highlights, added a rock soundtrack and replayed it all in slow motion.

Then again, maybe not...

£8.5m Chelsea target hints at Milan move

Gonzalo Higuain has spoken of his admiration for AC Milan

The 18-year-old River Plate starlet is one of the hottest properties in world football, with Chelsea leading the chase for the Argentine star, who has a French passport.

“Milan are a great side and I would consider a move,” Higuain told Controcampo newspaper.

“However, I will follow the advice I will receive from my agent and my father, seeing as Milan is not the only club that has made a request for me.”
