Higuain eyes Maradona's crown
Gonzalo Higuain has set himself quite the task.
In similar fashion to Diego Maradona, the 26-year-old forward wants to help guide Argentina to the World Cup in Brazil before inspiring Napoli to the Serie A title.
"This is an important moment for me and for my career," Higuain told La Gazetta dello Sport.
"I want to do what Maradona did: first win the World Cup and then the Scudetto. He triumphed in Mexico with Argentina in 1986 and, a year later, he made Napoli go crazy.
"If I could do this it would really be the ultimate dream. I want to stay in Naples for a long time - here I'm going to be a king."
No pressure, Gonzalo.

Higuain in tears as Napoli miss out on last 16
Napoli agonisingly missed out on a place in the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Despite beating Arsenal 2-0 with goals from Gonzalo Higuain and Jose Callejon, the Italian side were eliminated after Borussia Dortmund defeated Marseille, meaning the Bundesliga outfit progressed top of Group F, with the Gunners finishing second by virtue of a superior goal difference.
And it was all too much for goal scorer Higuain, who could not hide is disappointment after the game.
"Not going through is incredible," he said. "It is an injustice, really.
"Going out with 12 points – winning four games in such an immensely difficult group with two sides as strong as Arsenal and Dortmund - when you see teams going through with only one or two wins, with six or seven points, it's disappointing.
"It cannot be anything else but bad luck because to win four games out of six and be eliminated is not something that happens often."

Ghost buster: Wenger hopes to avoid being haunted by Napoli
Arsenal take on Napoli in the Champions League on Tuesday with manager Arsene Wenger set to face Gonzalo Higuain, a man he tried, and failed, to sign in the summer transfer window.
The Argentine striker, is not the only familiar face for the Gunners as Rafael Benitez brings his Serie A side to the Emirates Stadium, including goalkeeper Pepe Reina another one-time transfer target of the Gunners.
Wenger's men go into the game in confident mood, two points clear at the top of the early Premier League table, but will be hoping the ones that got away do not return to haunt his men.

De Laurentiis the ambulance chaser
Calling all ambulance drivers - watch your back, Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis is on the loose!
The Partenopei chief is demanding a whopping £86 million in compensation after star striker Gonzalo Higuain suffered cuts to his face after diving from a hired boat and landing on submerged rocks.
De Laurentiis was far from pleased with the medical attention received by the Argentina international but, despite potentially having enough spare cash to buy Gareth Bale, he plans to donate the money to charity.

Benzema the latest to escape Wenger's paws
It's fair to say Arsene Wenger has had a tough time of it in the transfer market this summer. After Gonzalo Higuain got away as Arsenal turned their attentions to Luis Suarez, the Uruguayan himself proved to be off limits!
There appeared to be some light at the end of the tunnel, though, when it emerged that Karim Benzema was next on Wenger's hitlist. But now the Frenchman will not be coming either, it remains to be seen if the Gunners boss has the energy to carry on transfer hunting.

Wenger turns to Suarez as Napoli welcome Higuain
Gonzalo Higuain is on the move from Real Madrid this summer - but not to his previously expected destination.
Arsenal tracked the striker this summer and were in advanced negotiations to take the Argentina international to north London.
But Napoli have used funds raised by the sale of Edinson Cavani to Paris Saint-Germain to sign the 25-year-old.
So, while Rafa Benitez welcomes Higuain to Naples, Arsene Wenger turns his attention to Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, who will cost a great deal more to prise away from Anfield.
