Gianfranco Zola Says Gonzalo Higuain Is 'Getting Better' Since Chelsea Arrival

Gonzalo Higuain "is getting better" now "he is in a good place" since arriving on loan at Chelsea from Juventus during the January transfer window, according to assistant manager Gianfranco Zola.

The 52-year-old said Higuain has "settled well" at Stamford Bridge and "is sharp and his physical condition is getting better," per Sam Wilson of Calciomercato.

Higuain cut short a loan spell with AC Milan to move to the Premier League, and dormer Milan teammates Suso and Jose Mauri mocked the Argentinian's weight after he posted images of his first training session with the Blues on Instagram in January.
