Gonzalo Higuain reveals debut plans in address to Chelsea fans before Tottenham clash
GONZALO HIGUAIN suggested he will make his Chelsea debut against Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup on Sunday in an address to the Stamford Bridge faithful.
It is believed Sarri will take no time trying to slowly embed the striker into the line-up, with Wednesday the weekend's opponents in the FA Cup fourth round.
Sarri has already coached the dexterous frontman at Napoli, when Higuain broke the record for most goals scored in a single Serie A with 36 strikes.

After scribing his signature at Stamford Bridge, Higuain told the club website: “Maurizio Sarri is the coach who, in my career, has got the best out of me as a player.
“He’s someone who knew how to work with me, particularly on the emotional side. That year (in 2015/16) together was fantastic and in big parts thanks to him, so coming to work with him is very important for me.
“I’m really happy to have been given the opportunity to do that and I want to get back to that level.
