The brother of Gonzalo Higuain is already in London ahead of the AC Milan striker touching down today ahead of signing for Chelsea.

The Mirror says Higuain is expected to fly into London on Friday to finalise his loan move to Chelsea.

Higuain's brother and agent Nicolas has already arrived in the capital to try to wrap up talks, and is due to be joined by the Argentina international striker.

The 31-year-old has cut short a loan from Juventus to Italian rivals AC Milan for a Stamford Bridge reunion with Maurizio Sarri, who he played for at Napoli.

Chelsea have agreed to initially borrow Higuain for six months in a deal which will see them take over his £170,000 a week wages. The loan could be extended by a year in the summer, depending on appearances, goals and results.
