Gonzalo Higuain: AC Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso 'holding tightly' to Chelsea target
Last updated on .From the section European Football

AC Milan head coach Gennaro Gattuso says he is "holding on tightly" to striker Gonzalo Higuain, amid interest from Chelsea.
The Argentina forward has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in January to join Maurizio Sarri, who managed him at Napoli.
The 31-year-old is on a season-long loan at Milan from Juventus.
"When a player makes up his mind it becomes hard to convince them otherwise," said Gattuso of Higuain.
Higuain had his most successful season under Sarri, equalling the Serie A goalscoring record with 36 goals in the 2015-16 season.
He has scored eight goals in all competitions for Milan this season, having left Juventus following the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo in July 2018.
"When a player makes up his mind it becomes hard to convince them otherwise," said Gattuso.
"I have a relationship with him that features great honesty - we say things to one another's face.
"At the moment, he's our player and we're holding on tightly to him.
"I don't know what will happen. If it was up to me, I'd keep him at my house and feed him my dinner."

i think it best to look for someone younger that you know has 5 years in him not someone that will last a year
chelsea are struggling and the manager is not getting the best out of the players and playing them in the wrong places
If they are going for an experience striker then bringing back Costa wouldn’t be a bad alternative!
Agreed. "Be careful what you wish for" comes to mind. I like Gattuso's comment about keeping Higuain at his home and feeding him his dinner. It's nice to be wanted, but if the player fancies his chances under a manager he has reacted to positively in the past, it may very well happen.
Arguably he misses even more sitters than Morata
Chelsea fans should be a little concerned at the prospect of those 2 being the spearhead
