money move to the San Paolo and
his legendary countryman is
delighted to see Serie A graced by
world-class Argentines
Hernan Crespo believes that Real Madrid
striker Gonzalo Higuain will prove to be
an excellent signing for Napoli .
The Partenopei fended off interest from
Arsenal and, though the deal is yet to be
rubber-stamped as official, the club are
expected to confirm the estimated €37
million signing imminently.
Crespo, 38, thinks that his fellow
Argentine will be a resounding success at
the Stadio San Paolo but called for fans to
allow the striker time to settle in Serie A.
"Napoli are taking a massive leap
forwards with Higuain," he told Radio Kiss
Kiss. "He's 25 years old but already has
great experience, including on the
international stage. He's a great striker
and I think Napoli have made an
impressive signing.
"I understand the euphoria of the fans,
[but] Higuain is arriving in a new place, a
new league and a new team, with
qualities completely different to the ones
to which he is used to.
"They should give him time to adapt and
not expect everything at once."
Juventus have also bought an Argentine
striker in Carlos Tevez, but the former
Inter, AC Milan and Lazio star is refusing
to pick a favourite between the two
forwards.
"I think Italian football is winning," he
said, when asked which of the clubs made
a better purchase. "I'm happy that two
great Argentines have come to play in the
league.
"We've got used to big players leaving
and now they are reversing the trend.
Italian football should be aware of its
economic restrictions, but these arrivals
are certainly a step forward."
