Liverpool Transfers: 10 Dream Alternatives To Loic Remy
4. Gonzalo Higuain (Napoli)
In today's market it's rare that genuine top class talent doesn't cost top dollar, and in potential target Gonzalo Higuain, Liverpool are likely to have to hand over a hefty fee if they want to add him to their ranks. Higuain is a proven goalscorer and enjoyed six successful years with Real Madrid, before being brought in as Edinson Cavani's replacement at Napoli last summer for a bumper £32 million. Higuain didn't disappoint under former Reds boss Rafael Benitez in Serie A, with his debut season goalscoring record reading 17 in 31 games for the Italians. The 26-year-old is capable of turning a match on its head within a matter of seconds, though the lasting memory of his World Cup campaign with Argentina could well be his glaring one-on-one miss against Germany in the final. That aside, Higuain is still a top class talent who would likely guarantee 15 plus goals a season for any club he plays for. His attitude both on and off the pitch is exemplary and always has been, something which compares favourably to the likes of Luis Suarez - a player who seemed to never escape troubled times even during his successful periods.
