Gonzalo Higuain was born to be an immediate success with Chelsea.
The 31-year-old Argentine striker signed a loan agreement until the end of the season. Chelsea has the opportunity to extend his stay when he succeeds.
Higuain, who could make his debut on Sunday at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of the FA Cup's fourth round tie against Sheffield, has played in Spain and Italy, enjoying the best season of his career under Maurizio Sarri, the boss. from Chelsea.
Higuain scored 36 goals in 35 Serie A matches for Napoli de Sarri in 2015-16 and Blues deputy director Gianfranco Zola believes the striker can be decisive in English football.
"I'm sure the expectations are great. I'm also sure that Gonzalo is used to it, "said Zola.
"He played for big clubs: Real Madrid, Juventus, Napoli. I'm sure he can meet those expectations. He has always produced good results wherever he has been.
"He's a player who can score in many ways, so we hope he'll bring his qualities to this team – right now, it's really necessary.
"It is arrive latebut he's coming into a team that plays a system that he knows very well, so that's a big advantage.
"Here, there is the type of players that will help him do what he can do better. The conditions are good.
Eden Hazard is also happy to play alongside Higuain.
"When you see his career, he has done it everywhere, in Madrid, Naples and Juventus," Hazard said.
"I think he can do the same thing here. He is one of the best scorers he can score anywhere. "
Zola downplayed Sarri's criticism of his players after the unsavory Premier League defeat at Arsenal last Saturday, which sparked a positive reaction in the Carabao Cup semifinal on Thursday with Tottenham.
The Blues won the night 2-1, scoring 2-2, and advanced on penalties to the February 24 final with Manchester City.
"Sometimes critics are not necessarily negative," added Zola.
"We do not doubt that these players can achieve record performances, as they did yesterday.
"What we're trying to get here is consistent performance, because that's the nature of the league.
"We can not afford to play well two games and a worse match. The best teams push. "
Sarri had designated Hazard before the Spurs Contest. The Italian was 28, claiming that it was not "a leader" and that he was apparently questioning the ethics of his team.
The Belgian captain has dismissed criticism by being very successful against the Spurs, who has regained his favorite left-wing role in the position of "nine false" he has recently occupied.
Hazard said, "In the past, officials have talked about me, this manager talked about me, the next person in charge will talk about me.
"My goal is simply to play football. I do not care what people think. I just want to do my best.
"I did it against Tottenham, of course I was not against Arsenal. But now, I look to the future and I will do my best again. "
Midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek could face a back injury, but Victor Moses has made an 18-month loan to Fenerbahce and Alvaro Morata is about to come out. Atletico Madrid has been badociated with the Spanish striker.
