Another reason why Higuain is likely to succeed at Chelsea is his telepathic play with Eden Hazard. The Argentine is very mobile and has proven in his first two games that he can link up well with his Belgian teammate.

Many of the strikers that have failed at Chelsea often found it difficult to play with Hazard. However, Higuain has a good telepathy with the Belgian, and that is definitely a sign of good things to come.

Most of Chelsea’s attacks are built around Hazard. The team basically plays to his rhythm and anytime he ticks, the rest of his teammates automatically tag along. That is why Higuain’s understanding with him will be very crucial to Chelsea’s campaign.

Fortunately, the striker doesn’t stand and wait for the ball to come to him. Higuain loves to be involved in the play, and his second goal against Huddersfield was typical of that.

His telepathy with Hazard makes him the perfect man for Chelsea’s striking role.
