Gonzalo Gerardo Higuain is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a striker for Real Madrid and the Argentina national football team.

Nicknamed El Pipita, Higuaín was born in France, attaining Argentine citizenship in 2007, and now holding dual nationality. Able to play as a striker, Higuaín "is known for his speed in the last third of the pitch and his great striking ability."

Higuain is one of only three foreign-born players to have played for Argentina in a FIFA World Cup. He initially rejected calls from both the Argentina and France national teams, claiming at the time he was undecided for which country he would prefer to play, before ultimately choosing Argentina.
