9 Goals, 5 Assists – Three Reasons Why Chelsea Should Not Buy This Star Striker

According to Metro, Chelsea are interested in signing Gonzalo Higuain, 26, however should the Blues sign this player? Of course, he is a top-class footballer, he had scored 9 goals and 5 assist in Serie A this season. Still there are many pros and cons when signing a big-name player. Here are the three reason why Gonzalo Higuain should not move to Chelsea,

1. Might Not Adapt to EPL

Gonzalo Higuain is definetely a goal-scorer, nevertheless it is not said he would fit in the Premier League gamestyle, as he had only played in La Liga and Serie A in Europe. In England there is more contact between the players, as well as pressing and tackles are definitely harder, unlike in the Mediterranean leagues. However the 26-year old forward is a strong player, as a result he could manage the heavy style of the English Premier League. But would Higuain find as much goal occasions, as he did in other leagues? Time would show, if El Pipita chooses the Londonese club.

 

2. Price tag

It is said Napoli have recently rejected a 50 million offer from the Blues and should Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich lineup better bid for the Argentinean? Nevertheless, is Gonzalo Higuain worth such an amount in first place? He is an effective striker, but there are also other, cheaper ways of strengthening the attack. Such big money could be spent in a more reasonable way. Some one like Cavani or Falcao would be worth for such price.

 

3.  Lukaku Factor

Why Gonzalo Higuain? There are numerous potent strikers than can be bought much cheaper. Example? Atletico Madrid’s goalscoring Brazilian Diego Costa, who’s release clause equals £32m. However Chelsea’s biggest mistake was loaning starlet Romelu Lukaku to Everton, as the in-form Belgian striker would be a goal-scoring machine and would not cost the Blues a penny. Now, that the 20-year-old forward will return at Stamford Bridge after this season’s end, Mourinho should give him a chance to prove. He has all the required abilities to become the “next Drogba”, only if a proper platform was provided to him to showcase his football skills.
