Higuain on hot seat to earn permanent move to Blues

LONDON - Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri is confident Gonzalo Higuain can be the short-term solution to his side's need for goals and urged the Argentine to earn a permanent move to the Premier League.

Higuain on Wednesday completed a loan switch to the Blues until the end of the season. He arrives from parent club Juventus having spent a troubled first half of the campaign on loan at AC Milan.

Higuain will be reunited with Sarri, who managed the 31-year-old at Napoli and made him his top target in the January transfer window.
