Gonzalo Higuain’s deal to Chelsea was supposed to have been finalized by now but there seems to be a bit of a delay. According to Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth, the Argentine’s brother is about to fly to London to complete the deal.

He also added that Higuain’s chances of playing against Arsenal on Saturday are slim and finished off by claiming that the Blues are going to sign him on loan with an option to extend it for a further 12 months.

"Sky in Italy are reporting Higuain's brother is standing by to fly to London to complete the deal," he said.

"It's more likely that if Higuain is at the Emirates on Saturday it will be to watch the game.

"We told you yesterday a loan had been agreed with Juventus until the end of the season. Chelsea do have the option to extend that loan by another 12 months."
