Head Coach Maurizio Sarri has been keen on signing Higua\u00edn for some time now and as of right now, he is very confident that he will be joining the club in a couple of days! A lot of people believe that Chelsea are only bringing Higua\u00edn into the club because of all the striker problems they have had in the past, like Fernando Torres and most recently Morata. He will most likely be replacing Morata and will be wearing the number 9 shirt, however will he play as well as he does in the Series A in the Premier League?<\/p>\n<p>The Premier League is known as one of the hardest leagues in football today, but that\u2019s not the only thing that&#8217;ll stop Higua\u00edn, the number 9 shirt for Chelsea is known for making world class player perform terribly! This happened to Fernando Torres! He was world class, one of the best players in the world, but one small move to Chelsea changed him! This could happen to Higua\u00edn if he wears the number 9 shirt, or he might not be able to adapt to the Premier League, like most players do. This could be a huge step up for him, he&#8217;ll just have to perform well. If Higua\u00edn does join Chelsea, will he be able to adapt to the Premier League?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8394\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8394\" class=\"wp-image-8394 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_1032316921-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_1032316921-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_1032316921-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_1032316921-624x416.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_1032316921-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_1032316921.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8394\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Editorial credit: \/ Shutterstock.com<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>17 days into the transfer window, Chelsea have decided to sell Cesc Fabregas and have almost agreed to send Morata either on a short-term loan with Atletico Madrid or sign for them, however Chelsea have decided to try and get one of the best Argentinian strikers in the Serie A; Gonzalo Higua\u00edn!
