#5 All about Higuain

Former Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain is on his way to join Chelsea, according to the latest reports. It sure is a great move for Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri, who brought out the best in the Argentine.

This is also what former Wales forward Dean Saunders thinks as he has lauded the move made by the Londoners since the Argentina star is someone who is renowned for his abilities inside the penalty box.

“What a signing that is for Chelsea. That’s exactly what Chelsea need, that player of that ilk. He’s a class act. Great finisher, gets goals everywhere he’s been.

“What a great signing because obviously if you play the type of football Chelsea have played, if you haven’t got a number nine who’s getting on the end of things in the six-yard box then you’re wasting all the chances you’re creating.

“There’s no-one there in the right place at the right time.”

Meanwhile, the Argentine star himself refused to speak of the reported move, saying: “Were you all waiting for me? If you want to create mess [regarding the Chelsea transfer], I’m not the right person for you in this sense.”

His manager at Milan Gennaro Gattuso, meanwhile, sounded rather pessimistic when asked about his potential departure right after the Rossoneri lost the Supercoppa Italia to Juventus.

“If it was his last match with Milan I do not know, I cannot answer,’ said the Italian.

“I’ve got a burning inside me, we have 25 players, so let’s not talk about this now. We lick our wounds and will see what happens tomorrow.”
