#2 He has the weight of history against him
Andriy Shevchenko, Mateja Kezman, Hernan Crespo, Fernando Torres, Alvaro Morata... Gonzalo Higuain?
The above-listed players are examples of exceptional strikers of the highest abilities who struggled to get going once they arrived Stamford Bridge, with Alvaro Morata the latest in a long line of strikers which dates back almost 15 years to the start of the Abramovic era.
Only a handful of strikers have come to Chelsea and boosted their stock, with Didier Drogba and arguably Diego Costa being the only examples of center forwards who did not struggle to live up to expectations at the West London club.
No doubt about it, Higuain is one of the most high profile strikers in the world (his record speaks for him), but going by precedents, all that might count for nil and he could well go down in history as another big name striker who failed to live up to expectations at Chelsea.
