Chelsea Announce Departures of 5 Players, Including Gonzalo Higuain, Gary Cahill

Chelsea have announced that five players have left the club following the expiration of their contracts on Sunday, including Gonzalo Higuain and Gary Cahill.

The Blues revealed on their official website on Monday that the pair, along with Rob Green, Eduardo and Kyle Scott, had left the club.

Higuain joined the club on a six-month loan deal from Juventus in January.

The Argentinian made 18 appearances under former boss Maurizio Sarri, whom he worked under at Napoli, but he returned just five goals.

As Goal's Nizaar Kinsella noted, that Chelsea were not willing to keep him at the club despite their transfer ban shows how disappointing his time at Stamford Bridge was:

Sad indictment of Gonzalo Higuain as Cheslea could have extended him for £16m or signed him for £31m and as the club faces a transfer ban for other players.
