Gonzalo Higuain admits Leonardo convinced him about moving to AC Milan.

The Juventus striker will join the Rossonero on Thursday.

Higuain said, “I'm starting a new adventure. I wish to greet to all the [Milan] fans and also the Juventus ones who gave me so much love.

“Leonardo convinced me. I've already talked to Gattuso. I'm here to go as far as possible."

The 30-year-old, who scored 55 goals in 105 games for Juve, should join Milan for an €18m loan with a €36m option to buy next summer.
