Higuain: I want to lead Chelsea into Champions League next season

Gonzalo Higuain is desperate to help Chelsea gain Champions League qualification.

The on-loan Juventus striker wants to spearhead their Champions League campaign next season.

Higuain, 31, said: “Obviously there have been some disappointments with my country, because we have not had luck in the World Cup.

“But with my clubs I'm very happy with my career. Playing in the three best leagues in the world – Italy, Spain, England – is not within the reach of many players.

“So I'm very proud of that. Personally I am satisfied, but I still have a dream to win the Champions League. It's the missing one for me.

“But I can't think about winning that yet. First we have to get there. It's very important for Chelsea to be in that competition next season."
