Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri is confident he can help Gonzalo Higuain reach his best level.

Higuain completed his move from Juventus yesterday.

"He is a very strong striker," said Sarri. "Especially in my first season in Naples, he did very well.

"He scored 36 goals in 35 matches in Serie A, that season he scored 39 goals. So he did very, very well. For sure, he is one of the best strikers in my career.

"We hope he brings goals, and that he starts scoring for us. He is also very good at other aspects, other than just goals, but that's what we are hoping for.

But Sarri knows the Argentine's pedigree having worked in Italy and is delighted to have him

"He has had some difficulties recently, but we are hoping we can raise him back to his best form."

Higuain's form has been poor in recent weeks while on loan at AC Milan but his pedigree is strong at Real Madrid, Napoli and Juventus.

"He's still scored nine goals in a team that isn't at the same level as Juventus," said Sarri. "He played four seasons for Real Madrid. I think he has the right experience to play here."
