The Argentina midfielder, 24, appears to have hinted at a January move to Chelsea by retweeting a ‘Welcome to Chelsea’ video on Twitter. And in a Sky Sports transfer update, Sheth reckons it’s a big clue a deal will soon be done. We’re told they are still in talks with Cagliari and Zenit St Petersburg over Nicolo Barella and Leandro Paredes respectively,” Sheth said. The Barella one we’re told would cost in the region of £45m. Would they spend £45m on what would effectively be a back-up? “Roberto Mancini as well has been very public in talking about Barella’s future, not specifically on Chelsea, but saying he needs to be playing football. Now if he wants to go to Chelsea would he be getting that first team football and then enhance his international ambitions? I don’t know. The other one, Leandro Paredes, this is an interesting one because there was a very cheeky development, we read quite a lot into, during the week. There was a tweet, or something on social media, it was basically a video that said Leandro Paredes welcome to Chelsea – and he liked it or retweeted it. He’s basically signed!” Express Sport understands Gonzalo Higuain will fly into London today to complete his loan move to Chelsea – who are aiming to have the Argentine star on the bench against Arsenal at the Emirates tomorrow night. The striker is due to have a medical today and complete terms on a six-month loan deal, with another year-long loan then triggered in the summer depending on appearances, goals and results. If Higuain can be registered by midday, he can be eligible for the crunch game with the Gunners – though it is more likely the ex-Napoli man will make his Chelsea debut against Tottenham in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final next Thursday. Chelsea are ready to take over Higuain’s £170,000-a-week wages, after Chelsea and Juventus agreed terms on the deal on Wednesday night in Jeddah, where Juve beat AC Milan 1-0 in the Italian Supercoppa final. Higuain’s arrival will pave the way for Spain striker Alvaro Morata to leave for Atletico Madrid in a deal worth about £28million.
