It comes six months later than he might have hoped, but Maurizio Sarri is finally closing in on his reunion with Gonzalo Higuain. The striker, who reportedly snubbed Chelsea to join AC Milan in the summer, is close to signing a deal to spend the remainder of the season on loan at Stamford Bridge from parent club Juventus.
Needless to say, the switch to Milan did not work out as expected. Higuain scored just six goals in 15 Serie A appearances there. His shot conversion rate of just 10.7 per cent made it a disappointing return by his high standards. The hope now is that Sarri can coax the best out of him, as he did so impressively in their sole season together at Napoli.
