Bengaluru, October 14: Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has admitted that he misses linking up with Gonzalo Higuain a lot and refused to rule out that he wanted to bring him to the London club.
Higuain who has joined AC Milan on a two-year loan deal this summer was reportedly a target for the Italian boss who wanted to bring the player along with Jorginho to Stamford Bridge. But Chelsea only succeeded to bring the midfielder from Naples dashing hopes of a reunion of the two.
Higuain recently claimed that it was only the manager who wanted him at Chelsea, not the club, henceforth the move did not materialize. However, in an interview with Corriere dello Sport when Maurizio Sarri was asked repeatedly about the Argentine and he chose to remain silent on the matter. He, however, heaped praise on the player.
