Higuain, 31, is on loan at Milan from Juventus, but is desperate to play for the Blues and the Argentina striker's arrival will see Alvaro Morata seal a loan move to boyhood club Atletico Madrid.

The Guardian report Piatek, who has scored 13 goals in 19 Serie A games this term, will sign a five-year deal with Milan, while Higuain will have his medical in London this week.

Higuain has been left out of Milan's game against Genoa on Monday with manager Gennaro Gattuso claiming the players "was not mentally ready" to play.

Gattuso added the former Napoli hitman produced "one of the worst training sessions" he had ever seen last week.

Higuain will need to hit the ground running at Chelsea, who are just three points clear of top-four rivals Arsenal and Manchester United.
