Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri says a deal for Gonzalo Higuain is all but done.

The Argentine has arrived in London for a medical ahead of a loan move from Juventus.

"I know Higuain and his agent are negotiating with the club in this moment. I hope, and I think, we will finalise the deal in the next few hours," Sarri said.

"This season he had some troubles but I think that's part of every player's career, you have your down moments. We hope we can regenerate him quickly so he can pay us back with his goals.

"It's very difficult in January to find one of the most important strikers in the world. So I think the club is working very well because it's not easy to get a new striker."
