Gonzalo Higuain has rejected calls from both the Argentine Under 20s and French national teams, like a friendly against Greece, November 15, 2006, claiming he is still to decide for which country he would prefer to play.
Gonzalo Higuain international career looks set to mirror that of David Trézéguet, whose father was Argentinian, and who was raised in Argentina, but went on to play successfully for France. When France national team call-up Pipita Higuaín against Greece, they assigned him No.20, the number originally worn by Trézéguet.
