Has Higuain Been A Good Loan Signing? – Chelsea Fans Voted And The Results May Surprise You

Chelsea striker Gonzalo Higuain has had an up and down time since his arrival at Stamford Bridge.

The Argentine star has scored three goals in 11 appearances after signing from Juventus in January, but after a good start, he has been ineffective for the Blues in the last few league games.
