'It's like the Easter egg' - Immobile eyeing Higuain's Serie A record
Lazio star Ciro Immobile is eyeing Gonzalo Higuain's Serie A goalscoring record when the season resumes.
Immobile had scored an incredible 27 Serie A goals this season when the campaign was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.
With 12 games left to play, Immobile is nearing Higuain's record of 36 goals in a single Serie A season, set with Napoli in 2015-16.

Following that season, Higuain completed a €90 million transfer to Juventus, but has not led Serie A in scoring since.
Immobile, meanwhile, was joint-top scorer in 2017-18, and has a six-goal lead over Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo in the goalscoring charts.
