FANS took to Twitter to mock chubby Gonzalo Higuain after the Argentine striker's debut for Juventus at West Ham.
Higuain, signed from Napoli for a whopping £75million, came on for the second half in Juve's 3-2 Betway Cup win.
But he looked far from fit and social media seized on the opportunity to point out the fact.
Higuain came in for some real stick...
While West Ham official unveiled their new London Stadium, Italian champions Juve unleashed their multi-million new attacker.
He replaced Mario Mandzukic at half-time but struggled to make an impact during a second half interrupted by regular substitutions.
Top scorer in Serie A last season, the former Real Madrid striker appeared short of his physical best, having last played for Argentina during the Copa America Centenario in June.
An Andy Carroll double helped West Ham fight back from 2-0 down after goals from Paulo Dybala and Mario Mandzukic had put Juve in control, and the match appeared to be drifting towards a penalty shootout before Simone Zaza won it late on.
Higuain was tipped for a move to the Premier League,. What would Pep Guardiola and Arsene Wenger made of his condition.
Guardiola, for instance, has kept any player not in top condition away from the rest of the Manchester City squad until they have improved and is monitoring diets as he bids to replicate his success at Barcelona.
