Higuain agrees on Stamford Bridge switch

AC Milan striker Gonzalo Higuain wants to link up with Maurizio Sarri again at Chelsea, having previously played under the Italian at Napoli.

According to Sport Mediaset, the Argentine star has requested a transfer to Stamford Bridge, having struggled to make an impact at the San Siro since his loan switch from Juventus in the summer.

Sarri is equally keen on reuniting with his former charge and Juventus would be willing to consider Chelsea taking over Milan's loan agreement for Higuain, with an option to sign him permanently at the end of the current season for €36m (£33m, $41m).
