Higuain has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea this month and is now on the verge of completing his move to the Premier League.
Speaking in his press conference ahead of Chelsea’s League Cup tie against Tottenham, Sarri confirmed that Higuain is set to join the club.

Higuain spent the first half of this season on loan to AC Milan in the Serie A, where he managed to score six league goals.

Sarri has, however, ruled out the chance of Higuain featuring against Tottenham on Thursday.
