Higuain Chelsea arrival scheduled as he's left out of AC Milan squad

Gonzalo Higuain is set to move to Chelsea on Tuesday.

The Daily Express says is set to arrive in London on Tuesday to complete his Chelsea move.

The Juventus striker is set to join on loan until the end of the season with the option to extend the deal by a further 12 months.

Higuain was left out of AC Milan's squad for Monday's game with Genoa and Gennaro Gattuso criticised him for his decision to leave halfway through his season-long loan from Juve.

And it is understood Chelsea expect the Argentine to arrive in the capital on Tuesday to complete the formalities of his move.

Gattuso said: "I accept his decision. Surely he could have done more and maybe we could have helped him fit in better.

"I want to be honest with you all. We had a poor training session today due to all these rumours. We spoke after the training session and I did not consider him ready for this game."

But all parties have agreed to let Higuain cancel his loan at Milan and start one at Chelsea.
