Chelsea transfer news: Blues close in on Gonzalo Higuain swap deal with Alvaro Morato heading to AC Milan
Chelsea are close to completing a swap deal with Gonzalo Higuain joining them and Alvaro Morata heading to AC Milan on loan.Maurizio Sarri appears to have run out of patience with the former Real Madrid forward, preferring Eden Hazard in the lone striking role in recent weeks and has decided to make his move, according to the Sun.2

Morata has struggled again this season

It has been another indifferent season for Morata, who has netted just seven times in all competitions this season, five of those coming in the Premier League.Since his 60m move to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2017, the 26-year-old has largely struggled for form and confidence, marking his competitive debut with a miss in the penalty shoot-out defeat to Arsenal in the Community Shield.With Olivier Giroud the only other striker at his disposal, Sarri is keen to bolster his attack and wants to reunite with Higuain who he worked with during the 2015/16 season at Napoli.2

Gonazlo Higuain has long been a target for Chelsea

The Argentine international had been linked with a move to West London back in the summer when he was loaned out by Juventus to accommodate the purchase of Cristiano Ronaldo.Morata, who has not scored for Chelsea since November, is also wanted by Sevilla.
