Higuain is yet to train with his new team-mates but was spotted running through some drills on his own this afternoon.
The 31-year-old is expected to relieve some of the attacking burden from Eden Hazard, with Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud having misfired so far this season.
Speaking after completing his move, Higuain said: “When the opportunity to join Chelsea presented itself I had to take it.
“It’s a team I’ve always liked that has a lot of history, a wonderful stadium and they play in the Premier League, a league I’ve always wanted to play in.

Gonzalo Higuain: I can't wait to start at Chelsea
“I now hope I can give back that trust Chelsea have shown me out on the pitch.
“I can’t wait to start and I hope to adapt as soon as possible.”
Director Marina Granovskaia added: “Gonzalo was our number one target in this transfer window and arrives with a proven record at the highest level.”
Higuain has taken the No 9 at Chelsea, which was vacated by Morata when he changed to 29 at the start of the season.
