Jose Mourinho: 'Chelsea can't sign Gonzalo Higuain'

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that it is not possible for the Stamford Bridge outfit to sign Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain.

The Blues had been linked with a £50m move for the former Real Madrid forward, but Mourinho has admitted that the Serie A side wouldn't be interested in selling the Argentine.

The 50-year-old told reporters: "Gonzalo Higuain is a player that I know, but we cannot get.

"Napoli want to win the Scudetto, they want to win the Europa League. I don't believe that they are interested in selling Higuain."

The 26-year-old has scored 13 times in 21 appearances since moving to Italy in the summer.
