Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri is not ready to discuss about the possibility of a move for Higuain.
He said, “As you know, I like him very much. He is a wonderful player, a wonderful man, he told a news conference I don’t want to talk about Higuain because I have two strikers, maybe two-and-a-half at the moment and Gonzalo is playing in AC Milan. It is better not to talk about him at the moment.”
When quizzed about Hazard’s adapted position, the Italian said he is still assessing the possibility of Hazard as a false nine.
“We started in the last two matches with Eden as a striker. In the first match [against City] it was only a tactical choice. Then I wanted to see if the solution could work in all the situations or not. I needed two or three matches to be sure if it is the right solution. I explained my point of view to Giroud and we will see. At the moment the solution is good, I think, because we played a good match against City and against Brighton we were very dangerous for 60 minutes.”
Given Giroud and Morata’s failure to impress, Chelsea are strongly tipped to bring in a new number nine with Higuain as one of the options.
