Gonzalo Higuain's arrival at Juventus on Wednesday caused quite the stir.
Fans of the Old Lady have been waiting impatiently for confirmation of the Argentina international striker's €90 million switch from Napoli and they finally saw their man at around 10.40CET as he touched down in Turin.
A huge crowd was waiting at Caselle airport when Higuain arrived from Madrid on a private plane. Hundreds of fans enthusiastically chanted "we came all this way to see Higuain score" and "if you don't jump, you're a Neapolitan".

Juve got around Napoli's huge release clause by agreeing to pay it in two instalments over two years. After passing a medical, Higuain stands to pocket €7.5m per season plus bonuses.
"I'm happy to be here," declared the Argentine upon his arrival. "Now let's get back and get in shape for the first day."
