HIGUAIN GIVEN GREEN LIGHT TO FLY TO LONDON FOR HIS MEDICAL AT CHELSEA

-
Gonzalo Higuain has been given the all-clear to fly out to London, as Milan, Juventus and Chelsea finalised all the details, claim Sky Sport Italia. The closure came this evening and Higuain is expected to wait until the morning so he can fly to London on a regular airline rather than take a private jet this late at night. If Higuain’s contract is registered by midday on Wednesday, then he will be eligible to play against Tottenham on Thursday. However, it’d be a tight squeeze to get the medical done and contract registered. The domino effect was sparked by Milan agreeing a €35m deal with Genoa for Krzysztof Piatek, who is arriving in Milan this evening and will have his medical tomorrow morning. Milan therefore interrupt the Higuain season-long loan, paying €9m rather than €18m, with €36m option to buy from Juventus.

Kylian Mbappe, who did lift the Kope Trophy, made fourth place for his exploits with Paris Saint-Germain and winning the World Cup, meaning Messi had to settle for fifth. Filipe Luis, however, despite playing for a direct rival of Barca in La Liga, believes that the Argentine’s exploits in 2018 – and indeed for the majority of his career – should have landed him the top spot on the podium. “When I get on the pitch my mission is to not let the opponents do anything, be that Messi or any other player,” the Brazili
