Gonzalo Higuain: Ruud Gullit believes Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino is the ‘perfect’ type of striker for Chelsea
Ruud Gullit believes Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino is the perfect example of what Chelsea need in attack rather than new signing Gonzalo Higuain.The Argentine international cut short his loan spell with AC Milan to move to Stamford Bridge until the end of the season earlier this week.2

New Chelsea signing Gonzalo Higuian

Chelsea have struggled in recent months, particularly in attack, and Maurizio Sarri has been forced to play Eden Hazard in a unfamiliar central role due to his lack of faith in both Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata.Higuain enjoyed success under Sarri when they worked together at Napoli, but Gullit, who was player/manager at Chelsea between 1996 and 1998, feels a target man approach is not what the Blues need.In aBBC Sportcolumn Gullit wrote: “I hope I am wrong, I really do, butHiguainis an old-fashioned striker who needs crosses and, if he plays up front all the time, he will not see many balls there because of the wayEden Hazardand Willian play.“Those two always come inside, and dribble or shoot, and try to do things themselves. “So they don’t need a player up there who is a target man, because Chelsea don’t use one and, under Sarri, they never do.“Instead they need a centre-forward who can play in midfield too, and be effective on the ball as well as be a finisher inside the box.Despite Higuain having played for the likes of Real Madrid and Juventus, the Dutchman does not see him solving Chelsea’s problems.“Roberto Firmino, who comes so deep for Liverpool, is the perfect example,” Gullit added.“That is how Chelsea’s front man has to play too, which is why I am not sure Higuain is the answer.2

Roberto Firmino suits Chelsea better than Higuain according to Gullit

“At the very least, he has a difficult job because, with the way they are set-up, he will not be able to play the way he wants.“We will have to wait and see, but Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud are both good strikers, and it has not worked out for them.”Higuain could make his Chelsea debut in their FA Cup fourth round match with Sheffield Wednesday – which you can listen toLIVE on talkSPORT.
