Real Madrid fullback Alvaro Arbeloa has hailed the impact made this season by top scorer Gonzalo Higuain.

The Argentine has already passed the 22-goal tally he notched last season, and he is now just three behind Argentinian compatriot Lionel Messi at the top of the Primera Division goalscoring charts.

Arbeloa said of the striker: "What Higuain is doing is crazy, he has no limits. He is improving every day and deserves everything that is coming his way.

"I hope he continues in this form and ends up winning the Pichichi (leading scorer in La Liga)."
