Chelsea are in "final negotiations" to hire Juventus forward Gonzalo Higuain, coach Maurizio Sarri said.
However, the Argentine striker will not play in the second round of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Tottenham on Thursday after the Blues did not complete the deal and registered the striker before the deadline of noon. Wednesday.
Higuain scored 36 goals in 35 Italian League games in his Napoli season under Sarri, and after reporting that the deal reached an obstacle late on Monday night, the Blues coach now reports that an agreement is about to be achieved. .
"It's a few hours to sign a contract today," Sarri said.
Higuain is loaned to Milan by Juventus this season, scoring just once in his last 12 games with the Rossoneri.
But Sarri hopes that the seasoned striker can finally show a crucial aspect that many missed the Chelsea team this season: a regular supply of goals from an attacker.
"We expect him to bring goals, he will start scoring for us," added Sarri.
"In January it is very difficult to find one of the most important attackers in the world, so I think the club is working very well because it is not easy to get a new attacker."
Milan should bring Higuain's substitute to Krzysztof Piatek from Genoa.
