Gonzalo Higuaín looks set to complete his Chelsea transfer on Wednesday after the Argentine striker was pictured flying to London.

The 31-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge all window long but the deal has been held up while AC Milan look for his replacement.

It now seems as if the Rossoneri will sign Genoa’s Krzysztof Piątek, freeing Higuaín to reunite with former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri at the Blues.

And now it seems as if the deal is almost set for completion after the forward was pictured at a Milanese airport ready to fly to the English capital.

The move is likely to be for an initial six months with Chelsea then having an obligation to take Higuaín on another 12 month loan.

According to Matt Law in the Telegraph, Higuaín was put on the first possible flight in order for Chelsea to register him in time for their EFL Cup semi-final against Tottenham on Thursday.
