Fabio Capello has claimed that Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Higuain would be the ideal summer signing for Juventus.
The Argentina international has struggled for a starting role at the Bernabeu this season, with Jose Mourinho opting for Karim Benzema.
With no guarantees of a first team place, there have been rumours that clubs across Europe are chasing the goal scorer. Now, Capello, who has managed both Real Madrid and Juventus, has insisted that Higuain would be a huge success at the Italian giants.
"Higuain is ideal for the game Juventus play," the former England manager told Tuttosport.
"Gonzalo is a player who works hard for the team. He never stands still waiting for the ball, instead he goes looking for it, works back and harasses defenders when they have the ball.
"Then, in front of goal he is very good, he is a born striker. Just look at his scoring record.
"From the point of view of character, he is a great guy. He works hard and has a fantastic attitude.
"In that first season in Europe he was always the first to turn up to training, and was not scared of fighting for a place in the team."
Higuain joined Real Madrid in 2007 from Argentine side River Plate.
