Chelsea transfer news: Gonzalo Higuain can turn the Blues into title challengers again, says Mario Melchiot
Signing Gonzalo Higuain can turn Chelsea into Premier League title contenders again, believes former Blues defender Mario Melchiot.The Argentine striker is reportedly close to joining the London club on loan from Juventus for the rest of the season, with a view to a permanent stay at Stamford Bridge.It is even claimed the Blues hope to confirm his arrival in time for him to face Arsenal on Saturday evening a match you can follow LIVE on talkSPORT.Gonzalo Higuain is set to join Chelsea2

And Melchiot says Higuain is the type of striker Chelsea have needed for years, having been without a regular goal scoring frontman since Diego Costa left the club on the opening day of the January 2018 transfer window.Asked if he can be the player to solve Chelseas problems up front and guide them back to the top of the league, the Dutchman told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast: Oh definitely.Hes a different kind of player; I feel like hes capable of handling the defences in the Premier League and he also has way more experience, which is a big advantage.A team like Chelsea cannot afford to play a season without a striker who is scoring the amount of goals you need to at least compete for the league.Thats why they are struggling and are in the position they are in right now. It appears Higuains arrival spells the end for Alvaro Morata at Stamford Bridge.The Spaniard has netted 24 goals in 72 games for the Blues but his performances in recent months have been quite painful to watch.And Melchiot says Morata who has been linked with a return to Spain with Atletico Madrid has just not adapted well to Premier League football.It has not gone to plan for Alvaro Morata at Chelseagetty2

He added: Sometimes when you come to the Premier League if look from the outside, you have your picture right, but then when you get involved its a total different thing.He probably feels like hes been criticised in a certain way that he didnt expect to happen so fast, and the game is so much tougher.When you look at the way Morata wants to play, its clear he has a lot of talent and has the ability to score goals.But in England, regardless if you have that, the fans wont respect you in the same why they might in Spain or in Italy.You can listen to live radio commentary of Arsenal vs Chelsea on talkSPORT this Saturday, kick-off 17:30
