Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain responds to latest Chelsea transfer rumours
Gonzalo Higuain insists he is happy at AC Milan amid speculation Chelsea will try to sign the Argentina striker next summer.
Juventus Higuain signed a season-long loan deal with Milan in the summer and has scored seven goals in 13 appearances for the club this season.
The 30-year-old was linked with a move to Chelsea in the summer, with manager Maurizio Sarri a known admirer of a player he worked with at Napoli.

According to reports, Sarri remains interested in bringing Higuain to Stamford Bridge, with his current strikers struggling to find their form.
Asked about the speculation over his future and the links to Premier League giants Chelsea, Higuain said: Ive read many things.

I am not angry or upset. I am happy and the same goes for the club. Thats all that matters.
Sarri refused to deny he wanted to sign Higuain in the summer and last month admitted he missed the Argentine striker a great deal.
Asked whether he told Chelsea to make a move, the Blues boss said: Whatever response I give will be considered wrong and put words into my mouth.
All I can say is that I feel Gonzalo left Napoli too soon. If he had stayed for another season, I think we couldve been in a condition to win.
Higuain was a part of the fantastic mechanism we created, we understood each other so well.
It was perfect synchronicity and the regrets will probably stick with us. I miss Higuain a great deal. I miss him because hell keep scoring goals until the day he dies.

He is a goal machine, a systematic and automatic jackpot.
AC Milan face Dudelange in the Europa League on Thursday night and Higuain added: We need a win and a good performance to progress in Europa League.
I want to play and prove that AC Milan didnt make a mistake in signing me.
