Gonzalo Higuain says he is determined to prove his worth to Juventus after being handed another chance at the club.
Higuain, 31, struggled to make an impact during loan spells at AC Milan and Chelsea during the 2018-19 campaign.
Chelsea opted against triggering a purchase option in Higuain’s loan and he therefore returned to Serie A and reunited with new Juve head coach Maurizio Sarri.
He was not expected to be given opportunities to start, with Juve boasting forward options including Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala and Mario Mandzukic.
However, Higuain has started both Serie A games this term, while he scored a brilliant goal as Juve beat his old club Napoli, where he thrived under Sarri before the international break.
Higuain has switched shirt number this term and he believes the move to 21 is helping him turn his fortunes around.
He disclosed that he decided to swap from number 9 to 21 because it was the day in which his daughter was born. He is ready to take her along in every game. According to him, his choice of the number is bringing him luck.
