Yesterday, Higuain made his debut for Chelsea against Sheffield in the FA Cup. The Blues won the match 3-0 as Willian netted twice and the wonder-kid Hudson-Odoi scored one. Higuain was the centre of attention for the match. Sarri gave the no.9 role for the Argentine in the starting lineup.
Even though he failed to score, the 31-year-old showed glimpses of his potential before being subbed off. Higuain attempted two or three through balls from Kovacic but failed to find the target. Giroud replaced him in the final minutes of the second half.
Higuain started his senior career at River Plate. Real Madrid found his talent and brought him to Bernabeu. The Argentine scored 107 goals in 190 appearances for the Los Blancos. Gradually, frustration started to hunt him due to lack of game time as Benzema settled well in the starting eleven ahead of Higuain.
Higuain made his way to Napoli on 2013 where he worked with the current Chelsea manager Sarri. The Argentine continued his terrific form in Napoli with 71 goals in 104 appearances. In the 2015-16 season, Higuain won the Capocannoniere award for the top goalscorer in Serie A with a total of 36 goals.
Obviously, his top-class performance attracted Juventus to make a move on the Argentine. Higuain joined with the Old Lady on the 2016-17 season. He enjoyed another successful chapter in his career with 40 goals in 73 appearances in Turin.
The shocking arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid to Juventus kicked Higuain out from Turin. Juventus sent him on a loan deal to A.C. Milan. Even though he started well in San Siro, he couldn't maintain his rhythm. He scored 6 goals in 15 appearances for them.
Sarri brought his old student to Stamford Bridge on a loan deal in this January. The Blues already have two strikers in the team; Morata and Giroud. Both of them seems to be not good enough for the job as the duo struggles to keep up their form. Sarri was even forced to play Hazard in the striker role despite the Belgian prefers a free role on the left wing.
Higuain is already a proven world class striker. His addition definitely gonna increase Chelsea's firepower. But it is important to integrate him into the Sarriball system where the striker is not likely to get many touches in the game.
Recent rumours suggest that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid both are interested in Morata. There is no doubt that Chelsea will allow the transfer of either Morata or Giroud. They cannot afford three strikers at the same time.
Hazard would be extremely relieved by hearing the news of Higuain to Chelsea. Recently, the Belgian played the striker role and failed miserably. He doesn't have the strength and power to play as the striker. The best example was the match against Arsenal. Hazard was completely out of the picture against the Gunners. Chelsea lost that match 2-0.
Higuain is capable of running behind the defenders and to make spaces for the wingers to exploit. Hazard can easily link up the Argentine and can score more goals in the winger role. The Belgian should maximize the advantage when Higuain drags the defenders with him inside the box.
We are yet to see the best from Higuain. It is not fair to judge him from his first game for the Blues. He will score goals.....many goals. Hopefully, his first goal comes on Thursday when Chelsea go head to head with Bournemouth on Premier League Matchday 24.

DeleteI mean Chelsea never had a problem with strikers, but ever since Drogba not one striker was good enough to stay for more than 3 seasons, I hope that Higuain can do something, but Real did a stupid for selling him, they should have sold Benzema
