Gonzalo Gerardo Higuain is an Argentine-French footballer. He currently plays as a striker at the Spanish club Real Madrid.
Gonzalo Higuain was born in France while his father, professional Argentine footballer Jorge "El Pipa" Higuain, was playing for Brest, at that time in the French Ligue 1. Having left the country at the age of 10 months, he did not return to France until the 1998 FIFA World Cup. Even though he does not speak French, he holds a French passport, because his father was naturalized French. But in January 2007, he successfully applied for the Argentine nationality.
He is the younger brother of Federico Higuain, who plays football for Club America.
