Toni: ‘Higuain for top-scorer’

By Football Italia staff

World Cup winner Luca Toni predicts Milan striker Gonzalo Higuain will be Capocannoniere this season.

The Argentine has joined the Rossoneri on loan from Juventus with an option to buy, and will be competing against Cristiano Ronaldo, Mauro Icardi and others to be Serie A top-scorer.

“CR7 is a signing from the 90s,” Toni, twice Capocannoniere during his career, told Tuttosport.

“With Ronaldo, Juventus also pushed other clubs to have big transfer campaigns. Inter worked really well, they took [Stefan] De Vrij and [Kwadwo] Asamoah on a free transfer, then [Radja] Nainggolan, Keita [Baldé]…

“Meanwhile, Higuain will give Milan a leap in quality. Ronaldo, Higuain and Icardi could all get 30 goals in the league.

“It’ll be a beautiful fight, the former is a superstar and the two Argentines are animals in the penalty box.

“A prediction? Pipita Capocannoniere.”
