Chelsea striker Gonzalo Higuain says Maurizio Sarri is manager who can get the most of him as a footballer.

The Argentine opened his account for Chelsea with two goals in Saturday's 5-0 win over Huddersfield Town.

Higuain scored 37 goals in his only season under Sarri at Napoli and he thinks he can now replicate that form with the Italian once more.

"Sarri is the coach who has got the best out of me as a player," he said. "He's someone who knew how to work with me, particularly on the emotional side. That (2015-16) was a wonderful season, one in which I broke the goal-scoring record, which is very important out there. It was a fantastic year for myself and Maurizio, a period which we shared together, even though it was for a short time.

"I'm just happy to be working with him again at a big club, which has so much history and wonderful team-mates. I'm really happy to have been given the opportunity to do that and I want to get back to that level.

"I think everything is set on the right path to achieve our goals by the end of the season."
