5 Serie A players Maurizio Sarri could bring to Chelsea

#5 Gonzalo Higuain (Juventus)

Gonzalo Higuain

For someone with such an impressive goal record, Higuain has an awful lot of critics. In his five years in Italy, he has scored 111 league goals in 177 games. In anyone’s books, that’s a very good record. Much of the criticism comes from struggles he has had on the world stage. He missed a number of chances in the 2014 World Cup final, as well as missing opportunities in both the 2015 and 2016 Copa America finals.

Higuain has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea in the past days, but it is unclear how much substance there is to those rumours. At 30, he probably wouldn’t be a long term solution for Chelsea, but for the time being, his age shouldn’t be too much of a problem, because he never really relied on pace in his career. He is usually excellent in front of goal, but he might not fit how Chelsea want to play.
