Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Gonzalo Higuain on loan until the end of the 2018-19 season. Juventus have now activated their recall clause to bring back Higuain from AC Milan to allow the 31-year-old to join the Premier League club. Juventus' official website revealed that the deal can be extended by another 12 months for a fee around £16m, while also inserting an option to buy for £31m.
The striker gets reunited with his former boss Maurizio Sarri with whom he shined in the fabled 2015-16 season at Napoli in which he scored a massive 36 goals in the Serie A averaging more than one goal per game.
He has admitted he likes Sarri and it was the season he enjoyed football the most.
Higuain said this to Chelsea's official website on the deal being completed:
When the opportunity to join Chelsea presented itself I had to take it. It’s a team I’ve always liked that has a lot of history, a wonderful stadium and they play in the Premier League, a league I’ve always wanted to play in."
One thing is inevitable- he will score a ridiculous amount of goals. And statistics can attest it. Since his debut in 2007, only four players (Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Edinson Cavani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic) have scored more goals than him.
Its something Chelsea's strikers Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata are under constant criticism for not doing. A recent 2-0 loss against city rivals, Arsenal depicts it. They were in a clear lack of a focal point in the attack.

Wingers Pedro and Willian were clueless in the final third and their individual errors cost them the game. Eden Hazard also looking out of depth in the false nine role. Strikers Morata and Giroud showed a lack of personality of finding the back of the net.
