Gonzalo Higuain

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

Hi Napoli highlights tend to have a few other attackers in the box occupying defenders (his finishing and dribbling/touch are still class, don't get me wrong).  We still need other players to get in to dangerous positions or he's going to have at least 2 defenders draped all over him all the time.

Just love this business to bits. I'm always for pragmatic solution when there is no clear option available. Welcome, Gonzalo!

"When the opportunity to join Chelsea presented itself, I had to take it," he said.

"It's a team I've always liked that has a lot of history, a wonderful stadium and they play in the Premier League, a league I've always wanted to play in.

"I now hope I can give back that trust Chelsea have shown me out on the pitch. I can't wait to start and I hope to adapt as soon as possible."

Marina Granovskaia, the director of football at Chelsea, added: "Gonzalo was our number one target in this transfer window and arrives with a proven record at the highest level. He has previously worked with Maurizio to great effect and is familiar with how the coach likes to play.

"This was not an easy deal for us to do because of the numerous parties involved, but we are delighted we were able to make it happen and we look forward to seeing the impact Gonzalo will make for us in the second half of the season."

He's seems strong as an ox and not easily knocked off the ball. I expect some goals from Him, Gonna guess at 10 prem goals for the remainder of the season

I like this deal a lot and I'm expecting big things from him. He's exactly what we need right now (although few years younger and a bit faster version of Higuain would be even better)

Can we hire this guy as well?

I'm going to watch Chelsea Women on Sunday afternoon, and wasn't sure I wanted to go to the Wednesday game too. Of course, because I'm an addict, I did buy a ticket in the end and I'm glad that I'll be there to see Gonzo's debut. By the way, tickets were still on sale for both games the last time I checked. Women play in Kingston at 2:00pm, the men in Stamford Bridge at 6:00pm.

Never thought I would see myself saying one day of the week against another (Sunday against Wednesday  ) a non-football fan coming across that would think I am on drugs

I don't know if the blue and whites of Sheffield have ever played Abergavenny but it would be fun to say, "I'm going to see Wednesday play Thursday on Saturday."

The general expectations on him are realy low, so I think he will actualy end up very nice, Etoo type signing.

Better be, or we are in big trouble.

He is going to have every eye in the PL and most of Italy on him!

No pressure there then eh1

Not sure if Sarri saying hes the best striker hes had will help or hinder him. Might just send his confidence thru the roof.

Higuaín can’t wait to get started, to repay the trust shown in him by Sarri and Chelsea
