AC Milan coach Rino Gattuso can't guarantee Gonzalo Higuain staying in January.

On-loan this season from Juventus, Higuain is a winter market target for Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea.

Gattuso said yesterday: "If Higuain will leave us this winter? This is a question that concerns his entourage, but he is a great player and we need him.

"Personally I think he will stay with us at AC Milan.

"It's my feeling after we have discussed the situation with the player."
