Gonzalo Higuaín’s move to Chelsea is done, according to reports in Italy.

The Argentine striker was on the bench for AC Milan’s Italian Super Cup clash with Juventus this evening, fuelling rumours that the goalscorer was set to seal his switch to west London.

And now Sky Italia have confirmed that the 31-year-old will move to Stamford Bridge on an initial six-month loan and will then have an obligation to take him on another 12 month loan should he reach certain targets.

Agreement reached between #Juventus and #Chelsea for Gonzalo #Higuain! Loan + buy option for 6 months; it can be extended as loan also for one year more (2019/2020 season) if Higuain will get some steps with Chelsea (caps, goals, team targets). 🔵 #CFC #Chelsea #Juve #Milan

Higuaín only moved to the Rossoneri last July from Juventus but has struggled for form since October, scoring just one goal in three months.

It means that the South American hitman will link up with former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri, and also means that Álvaro Morata is likely to leave the Blues and head back to Spain.
