Higuain ready for Chelsea move.

 

AC Milan striker Gonzalo Higuain has “agreed terms” and is set for an imminent move to Premier League club Chelsea, Italian sports daily Gazzetta Dello Sport reported on Wednesday.

The Argentine joined Milan on a season-long loan from Juventus in July with an option to buy but has struggled to settle at the San Siro, scoring eight goals in all competitions.

The 31-year-old Argentina international wants to join former Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri in Chelsea which would take over his 36 million euro ($41 million) buy-out clause.

Higuain had his most successful season under Sarri, breaking the Serie A goalscoring record with 36 goals in the 2015/16 campaign. He scored 91 goals during his three years at the club before moving to Juventus in 2016 on a 90 million euro deal.

He previously spent six years at Real Madrid before starting his career at River Plate in Argentina.
