Higuain? We need two players but it's up to the club – Sarri

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri was quizzed on the clubs links with AC Milan striker Gonzalo Higuain at a press conference on Friday, only to reiterate that he has no control over the club's activity in the transfer market.

Higuain is a well known favourite of Sarri, with the pair having worked together at Napoli, and rumours of a move to Stamford Bridge for the Argentine had been circulating even before the manager was appointed in London.

Those rumours have resurfaced again of late due to various on-field issues at Chelsea, but their Italian boss stated that he can only say how he feels rather than having a direct impact on the club's transfer policy.
