Top Chelsea rep in Spain for talks over Real Madrid's Higuain

Chelsea are reviving their pursuit of Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain.

The Sunday Telegraph says Fernando Torres scored twice in Saturday’s 3-1 win at Sunderland, but his goals came after Marina Granovskaia, Roman Abramovich’s personal assistant, travelled to the Spanish capital to sound out Real about Higuain's availability.

Higuain has been a long-term Chelsea target and the prolific 24-year-old Argentinian has struggled to command a regular place at Real under Mourinho.
