Speaking on his move to the Premier League, Higuain revealed told the club's official website he was relishing the opportunity of working under Chelsea boss, Maurizio Sarri, once more.

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs?
