Chelsea agree deal to sign Gonzalo Higuain on loan

Gonzalo Higuain will join Chelsea for the remainder of the season

Reports from Sky Sports claim that Chelsea have agreed on a deal to sign Juventus star Gonzalo Higuain on a loan deal until the end of the ongoing season. Higuain has been on loan at AC Milan but will now make the switch to the Premier League giants.

The reports suggest that the current deal lasts until the end of the current season, but can also be further extended for a period of 12 additional months.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have desperately been on the hunt for a quality striker to spearhead their attack up front. Notably, the aforementioned report claims that some Chelsea officials remain uncertain over whether Higuain can be the solution to Chelsea's problems.
