Chelsea star Eden Hazard hailed Gonzalo Higuain after his double against Huddersfield and says the striker will score plenty of goals for the club.
The Argentine scored twice on his home Premier League debut as Chelsea bounced back from a chastening 4-0 defeat to Bournemouth.
Hazard made no secret of his preference of playing with Olivier Giroud before Higuain’s arrival and the Argentine’s move allowed Alvaro Morata to join Atletico Madrid .
Higuain is now Chelsea’s first choice striker and Hazard admits he’s less of a target man than Giroud and will prove a deadly striker at the club.
‘He’s a great striker,’ said Hazard. ‘He’s a bit less of a target man than (Olivier) Giroud, but he can hold the ball, he can play one touches. He’s intelligent. ‘In the box he’s unbelievable. He will score more goals.’
Hazard’s double against the Terriers was his first league goals of 2019. Chelsea have struggled in recent weeks but Maurizio Sarri was delighted with the manner of their win against Huddersfield.
