Gonzalo Higuain wanted at Chelsea

Napoli star Gonzalo Higuain is regarded as the perfect fit to replace misfiring striker Diego Costa at Chelsea.

The Spain international has had a dismal second season at Stamford Bridge, and this has led to speculation that he may seek a return to La Liga at the earliest opportunity.

It is now known that Blues boss Jose Mourinho has earmarked Higuain as the ideal replacement should Costa make way in the near future, The Mirror claims.

Higuain, who is also on the radar of Arsenal, has previously worked under Mourinho at Real Madrid.
