Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri does not know how much Gonzalo Higuain is about to sign for the club.

Maurizio Sarri refused Gonzalo Higuain's proposal to join Chelsea and said he did not spend his energy on transfers.

Sky in Italy has announced that Higuain, who is loaned by Juventus to AC Milan, has agreed to settle at Stamford Bridge until the end of the season, where they will then have the opportunity to buy the Argentine striker.

Ask by Sky Sports News Sarri replied, "I do not know, I want to be clear, because I can not help you.

"I spoke with [Chelsea director] Marina [Granovskaia] two weeks ago and she knows my opinion on how to improve the team. Then I decided to focus on the field, the matches, the training.

"Now, I'm confident because I know Marina works very hard, but I do not know anything about the market because I want to focus on the matches."

"I do not call her every night, otherwise I spend all my mental energy on the market.I think it's better if I spend it on the ground."

Cesc Fabregas left Chelsea a week ago for Monaco and the Blues have not yet recruited a substitute. Leandro Paredes of Zenit St Petersburg will be linked.

Asked about the delay in the arrival of a replacement, Sarri said: "I'm not frustrated at the moment."

Alvaro Morata, who joined Real Madrid for £ 60m in July 2017, was badociated with a move from Stamford Bridge.

Sarri said that the Spanish striker, target of Atletico Madrid, would be available to face Arsenal on Saturday.

"For him, I think it's a very difficult time, but it's normal for a January player to be on the market," said Sarri, who ruled Morata out of his team for the win against Newcastle last week.

"He is available [for selection]. And then, as in the last game, I can choose something different. "

Sarri has not talked about his future at Callum Hudson-Odoi, but says the winger's play has improved considerably in recent times.

Callum Hudson-Odoi also sparked keen interest, with Bayern Munich having submitted four bids for the 18-year-old winger, the latest to £ 35 million.

"I do not want to talk to him about something that I can not solve," said Sarri.

"I am very happy with him because a month ago we worked with him for the defensive phase and he improved immediately.

"We are now working with him to avoid the ball and, in my opinion, he is moving in. In the field, we are very happy with him and he has improved a lot in the last two months.

"Mentally, he is in a very positive moment, with his attitude and the way he trains."

Sarri will travel to Emirates Stadium on Saturday to face Arsenal who occupies one place – and six points – below in the Premier League table.

Olivier Giroud could make his first appearance in the United Arab Emirates since his departure from Arsenal last January, but Sarri gave no guarantee as to the qualification of the Frenchman for the match.

"I do not know, I have to decide," he says. "In the first six months, Giroud has often played, but it is normal that sometimes I choose something different.

"Saturday will be a difficult match in the defensive phase and we need our team to be balanced in the field."
