With speculation of 2017 being the final season for Federico Higuain in Black & Gold, fans began to worry about the direction of Columbus Crew SC‘s attack if the playmaker departed.
Higuain has played an important role for the Columbus for so long that it became difficult to think about life after the Argentine. In six seasons, the Black & Gold’s No. 10 has contributed 48 goals and 49 assists in 149 Major League Soccer games.
Luckily for fans, Pipa signed a one-year contract extension with Crew SC in October to remain in Central Ohio.
