'Something changed in his mind' - Juve boss Sarri says Higuain has moved past Chelsea struggles

Juventus head coach Maurizio Sarri thinks "something has changed" mentally for Gonzalo Higuain since his difficult loan spell with Chelsea.

Higuain joined the Blues on loan in January but could not offer consistent form in front of goal, scoring just five times in 18 appearances in all competitions.

The striker's long-term future at Juve seemed to be in doubt when Sarri took charge in Turin, but the Argentina international has looked rejuvenated in the early months of the season.

The 31-year-old has managed a modest three goals in 11 appearances but has generally performed well alongside Cristiano Ronaldo or Paulo Dybala in attack.
