Why Gonzalo Higuain would be the perfect fit at Chelsea

Juventus ace could be heading to the Premier League

Reports in the Italian media today have linked Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain with a big-money move to Chelsea.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been heavily linked with a switch to Juventus. And that would make one of Higuain or Mario Mandzukic surplus to requirements at the Turin outfit.

The Coral News Team take a look at why the former Real Madrid ace would fit in perfectly in West London.

Reunited with Sarri

If, as expected, Maurizio Sarri takes over from Antonio Conte at Stamford Bridge, it would make complete sense for the duo to be reunited at Chelsea.

Higuain spent one season at the Stadio San Paolo under Sarri before moving to Juve. And under the tutelage of the former Empoli coach, the 30-year-old scored 40 goals in just 38 starts.

Sarri’s style of football generally gets the best out of forward lines. His sides’ attacking football creates lots of chances and Higuain is a top finisher.

Chelsea need the firepower

The Blues have lacked a natural-born goalscorer since Diego Costa left the club. Michy Batshuayi has been unable to break into the first team on a consistent basis.

Alvaro Morata flattered to deceive despite a rip-roaring start to his Chelsea career. And Olivier Giroud just isn’t prolific enough.
