Chelsea plot swoop for AC Milan

Chelsea have revived their interest in Gonzalo Higuain ahead of January transfer window, according to reports from Italy. The striker was a target for Maurizio Sarri last summer and Chelsea held initial talks with Higuain’s then club Juventus, however, negotiations failed to develop and the striker moved to AC Milan on a £16million season loan with an option to buy as part of a swap deal involving Leonardo Bonucci. Sarri wants to strengthen his attacking options and worked well with 31-year-old Higuain while at Napoli. Milan hold an interest in Chelsea's Alvaro Morata from the summer though it is understood any deal involving the Spaniard has yet to be discussed.
