Gonzalo Higuain is a great signing for Chelsea but Tottenham should have got him first, says Dean Saunders
Dean Saunders believes Tottenham dropped a massive clanger by not signing Gonzalo Higuain in the summer, as the striker prepares to join London rivals Chelsea.Higuain is reportedly close to signing for Chelsea on loan for the rest of the season, as they look to ship out misfiring Alvaro Morata and improve their front line.2

Chelsea are looking to sign Gonzalo Higuain

The Argentine was linked with a move to Spurs in the summer transfer window, but the Premier League side ended up not signing any new players which has badly backfired now that Harry Kane is out until March with an ankle injury.And Saunders believes Spurs missed a big opportunity to sign some world-class players over the summer, saying Higuain may have chosen to join them if they loosened their purse strings. Speaking on Thursdays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, the former Wales striker said: What a signing that is for Chelsea.Thats exactly what Chelsea need, a player of that ilk. Hes a class act, a great finisher and gets goals everywhere hes been.But what are Spurs going to do now Harry Kane is injured?2

Harry Kane has suffered ankle ligament damage

Theyve finished in the Champions League twice on the bounce, theyve got a great young manager and a great squad.They had an advantage over Chelsea in the summer because Chelsea werent in the Champions League and Spurs were.If Higuain had the option in the summer which club to go to, he maybe would have taken less wages and gone to Spurs because they were in the Champions League.Thats where Spurs had the advantage, and they never capitalised on it.Thats when they had the chance to sign the top players, but now theyre in a bidding war of wages which they cant compete in against Chelsea.
