Chelsea fans could finally get their wish of a lethal striker in-front of goal this summer, if reports making the round are anything to go by.

Serie A heavyweights, Juventus, have agreed to sell Gonzalo Higuain to Chelsea in a bid to sweeten a potential move for Alvaro Morata back to Turin, according to reports.

The Italian champions want to bring back Morata this summer and have already opened transfer talks with Chelsea.

Chelsea may be forced to sell if they can use the funds to secure the services of another big name striker, while Juventus think it is time to move Higuain on.

Juve broke the bank when they paid £75.3milion for Higuain in 2016 after the former Real Madrid star enjoyed a record-breaking season at Napoli.

Higuain has helped the Old Lady club secure back-to-back league titles, but the Evening Standard claim the Italians have made contact with Chelsea over a swap deal. Juventus worry Higuain is about to start declining after 23 goals in 50 appearances last season.

Chelsea on the other hand have already rejected an approach from Juventus to bring Morata to the club on a two-year loan deal.

Allowing Higuain join Chelsea would seemingly solve the Blues’ problem of losing their No.1 striker, but the London club rarely invest heavily in players over the age of 30. Meaning, Chelsea may be tempted to give Morata more time to settle at Stamford Bridge.

There is an expected change of manager at Chelsea, with Antonio Conte on the verge of being sacked.

Former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri was the favourite to take over from Conte, but that deal seems to have been sunk by the fact Chelsea refused to pay the Italian’s former employers a compensation fee.

Sarri reportedly told Chelsea if he was to be their new head coach, he would want Higuain as his first signing.
