ESPN refers to Sport Mediaset saying that Higuain – Morata swap is a very likely to happen .
The Spanish striker has failed to impress Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea
At the same time, Higuain would like to reunite with his former Napoli boss
ESPN quotes Sport Mediaset, which claim that Alvaro Morata and Gonzalo Higuain are set for a sensational swap deal. “A match made in heaven” – the source writes. And indeed, both strikers would benefit a lot from that swap.
Hazard just followed Higuaín on Instagram. Even on Christmas Eve, he’s desperate for a Morata replacement.

Alvaro Morata has failed to fix his goalscoring issues and failed to impress Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea. It may be his lack of confidence or some other psychological problems, but the world of professional football is cruel – nobody needs you if you don’t give the expected result.
At the very same time, Gonzalo Higuain is feeling that AC Milan is just not the right team for him. The Argentinian showed his best football under Sarri at Napoli and suited his tactical system really smoothly until he was sold to Juventus.
All in all, the swap (a potential cross loan) is something that could make all the parties happy – Morata scored a lot more when he used to play in Serie A, while Higuain will definitely help his former coach at the Stamford Bridge.
