Juventus forward Paulo Dybala has warned new team-mate Gonzalo Higuain that he will not find it easy to seize a spot in the starting line-up.
The Serie A champions spent a club record €90million to sign Higuain from title rivals Napoli, following a remarkable 2015-16 season in which he scored 38 goals in 42 appearances.
But Dybala says his compatriot's price tag is no guarantee of a place in Massimiliano Allegri's first team, such is the strength in depth of the squad.
"We hope he can help us score many goals and that he can help us in the league," Dybala toldLa Gazzetta dello Sport. "It'll certainly be difficult at Juventus because there's so much competition. Mario [Mandzukic] is already doing well."
Higuain was the marquee signing in a stellar transfer window for Juve so far, in which Allegri has set about constructing a side capable of challenging for the Champions League.
