Chelsea to send Gonzalo Higuain back to Juventus

Chelsea are set to send Gonzalo Higuain back to parent club Juventus this summer.

Gazzetta dello Sport says it is 'almost certain' that Chelsea will cancel Higuain's loan move at the end of the season.

If he is set to leave, Olivier Giroud will likely be handed a new deal and promoted back to first-choice centre-froward.

They have been given a two-window transfer ban and fined £460,000 by FIFA for breaching the rules around the transfer of junior players.

They are unable to register new players, but are still allowed to sell.
