Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri was delighted to see Gonzalo Higuain on the scoresheet for victory over Watford.

While admitting he wasn't sure if the on-loan Juventus striker would be staying next season, Sarri was adamant he would improve if that was the case.

He said, "I don't know about Gonzalo Higuain's future, you have to ask the club. But for a striker it is not easy to play here, when you're used to playing in Spain and Italy. It's not easy to adapt to this competition because it's different physically. If he's staying then we can do very well in the next season."

Fellow goalscorer Ruben Loftus-Cheek also impressed Sarri, who added: "Ruben Loftus-Cheek is not just for me but for English football. He is improving match by match he can become one of the best midfielders in Europe, not only in England. He has very great potential and in the next season he will be for sure one of the best midfielders, not only in England."
