Higuain, 28, scored a remarkable 36 goals in 35 Serie A appearances this season and is currently in the United States with Argentina for the Copa America.

The striker started in Monday night’s 2-1 win over Chile and cameras picked out Klopp in the crowd, next to Nicolas Higuain, who is the star's brother and representative.
