Chelsea have reportedly become 'increasingly confident' regarding their chances of signing Juventus forward Gonzalo Higuain.
The Argentine is currently on loan at AC Milan, where he has netted eight goals from 21 outings, but the 31-year-old is said to be open to making the switch to the Premier League in January.
Chelsea are in the market for a new forward, and Sky Sports News suggests the Blues feel that they are moving closer to adding a fresh face to their frontline.
The report claims that a loan transfer with the option to buy is the most likely resolution for Chelsea and Juventus, with any future fee expected to be in the region of £32m.
Alvaro Morata could leave Stamford Bridge if Chelsea are able to get a deal over the line over the next two weeks.
