Gonzalo Higuain's agent arrives in England ahead of Chelsea transfer

Gonzalo Higuain's brother and agent Nicolas Higuain has arrived in London ahead of a potential move to Chelsea, according to Calcio Mercato.

Higuain was loaned out by Juventus in the summer and has been playing for AC Milan. However, he has been unhappy at the San Siro and is excited about a potential reunion with Maurizio Sarri. Under the Italian's tutelage, Higuain had enjoyed one of his most prolific seasons at Napoli.

Chelsea's woes in front of goal are well documented and Sarri wants a reliable striker as Morata and Giroud continue to misfire. AC Milan are reportedly not keen on losing Higuain but with Juventus deciding to not stand in the way of the transfer, holding on to the Argentine will be quite an arduous task for Il Rossoneri.
