Chelsea have got Higuain on loan from Juventus/AC Milan for the rest of the season and the term might be extended.

Sarri would like him to play against the Arses this weekend. It will be interesting to see if the Sarri-Higuain chemistry still works. The striker scored 37 goals, I think it was, in 35 games at Napoli a few years ago. This was a Serie A record. However he has only got 8 for AC Milan this season in 20 matches.
Chelsea have signed strikers in the past, who have failed almost completely to help the club. Radamel Falcao and Torres are two examples. Falcao is on his way to AC Milan to replace Higuain funnily enough.
We bought Torres for a British record of 50 million quid. He was with us for years and didn't score many goals. Torres did however get one against Barca in extra time, which got us into The Champions League Final in 2012.
Sarri seems to have charmed Chelsea's Russian Iron Lady director, Marina Granovskaia, to change her mind. I'm glad we've got Higuain, but only on loan.
Andy Cole and Tim Sherwood on Sky think Higuain will do well. Sherwood says Spurs players are probably complaining they didn't try and get him, because Kane is out for 11 games. The difference is Spurs don't have Sarri and didn't want to spend the money.
