Chelsea 'offered Gonzalo Higuain in exchange for Alvaro Morata by Juventus'

Chelsea have reportedly been offered Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain in part-exchange for Alvaro Morata.

The London outfit have been linked with a move for the Argentine this summer as £60m signing Morata has failed to nail down a starting spot at Stamford Bridge.

According to the Evening Standard, Juventus are willing to offload Higuain to the Blues in an attempt to re-sign their former striker.

The report adds that the Serie A club enquired about signing Morata on a two-year loan with an option to buy, but that is unlikely to be accepted by Chelsea.

Higuain has scored 55 goals since joining the Old Lady for £78m in 2016.
