Dailystar : CHELSEA are preparing a £30m offer for Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain.
The London club are ready to move in January in a bid to boost their strike force. Rookie boss Andre Villas-Boas has severe concerns over misfiring hitman Fernando Torres.
And there is still a chance that Didier Drogba could follow Nicolas Anelka out of the Stamford Bridge door.
Villas-Boas will do everything he can to hold onto Drogba but he considers 24-year old Higuain to be a perfect back-up, or even a replacement as the Ivory Coast striker gets ready to go off to the African Nations Cup with Salomon Kalou.
