Sarri: Chelsea need Higuain at 'top level' for final two months of the season

The Blues boss admitted to his striker's struggles and has called on him to finally get to grips with his new surroundings

Maurizio Sarri has called on Gonzalo Higuain to start firing for Chelsea, as he admits that his side's goals can be undermined by the 31-year-old's inability to adapt to English football.

The forward recently announced his retirement from Argentina's international duty to focus on club football, but he has so far only managed to net three goals in his 10 appearances in English football.

His goals have come against Huddersfield Town and Fulham, as the Blues face another relegation candidate in Cardiff City on Sunday afternoon.
