# Chelsea fans want Mauro Icardi instead of Gonzalo Higuain

**Chelsea fans online have been calling for their side to sign a new forward, but it’s not the one that the club are apparently targeting. [According to the Express, Chelsea are keen on a move for Argentine forward Gonzalo Higuain, with Maurizio Sarri apparently eager to link up with his former forward](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/989263/Chelsea-transfer-news-Gonzalo-Higuain-Juventus-swap-deal).**

However, likely given his mixed form last season and his age, Chelsea fans don’t seem to be desperate to land him. Instead, they want their club to sign his Serie A rival Mauro Icardi.

Currently the captain of Inter Milan, Icardi has proven his worth as one of the deadliest finishers around. He bagged a stunning 29 league goals last season, earmarking him as one of Europe’s best. Furthermore, he’s also got age on his side in comparison to Gonzalo Higuain – given that he’s just 25-years-old.

Plenty of Chelsea fans have clearly recognised all of that, as on Twitter, there’s only one name on their lips. They’ve got no interest in Higuain, with Icardi a very popular man.

Take a look at what they’ve had to say below…

> Higuain is too old.\
> Mertens too. \
> Icardi is the one of the best strikers in the world. This is my dream but Icardi will go to the R. Madrid or remain in Inter. \
> And Morata have to stay in Chelsea ! This season will be better than first season.
