The club confirmed the signing of Higuain on their official Twitter account late on Wednesday night, news that will surely delight all of the club’s fans.

While the 31-year-old doesn’t exactly join CFC now in the form of his life, fans will no doubt be excited about this big-name signing in a problem position to boost their hopes of clinching a top four spot in the second half of this season.
