Chelsea: Higuain CAN sign permanently despite ban says pundit
Chelsea star Higuain signed on loan from Juventus in January but, in the time since, has managed to score just four Premier League goals.
The Blues have a big decision to make on the Argentina international because, even though they have been slapped with a transfer ban, they are able to make the veteran a permanent signing.
Sarri recently played it coy when asked about a Chelsea transfer, saying: "I don't know about Gonzalo Higuain's future, you have to ask the club.
"If he's staying then we can do very well in the next season."

And Higuain said: "No, mine is a feeling of affection because they treated me very well; team-mates and supporters have given me huge affection.
"But I did not ask to leave. Basically, everyone says it, they kicked me out. At Milan I immediately had a great love and so they convinced me.
"Maybe I knew something had broken, and then they took Ronaldo. The decision to leave was not mine.
"I gave everything for Juventus, I won several titles. After Cristiano arrived, the club wanted to make a qualitative leap and they told me that I could not stay and that they were trying to find a solution. The best solution was Milan."
