'Bring him back' - These Chelsea fans name the player to replace Gonzalo Higuain this summer

Chelsea supporters are running out of patience with Gonzalo Higuain.

The Argentinian was a big January arrival on loan from Juventus, but he has failed to live up to his Maurizio Sarri billing.

The striker was the man Sarri wanted, having enjoyed a fruitful spell in front of goal while the two were at Napoli together.

However, Higuain has struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League, scoring just three goals - all against relegated duo Huddersfield Town and Fulham.

The 31-year-old was named on the bench for the Blues' defeat to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, coming on three minutes after Chelsea fell 2-0 behind.

Higuain joined on an 18-month loan deal in January, meaning he has another season at Stamford Bridge, and with a transfer ban currently hanging over their heads, the Argentine's stay is unlikely to be cut short.

If the transfer embargo is lifted, however, while an appeal against it is heard, the Blues would be free to use the summer window to bring new players to the club.

And the Chelsea supporters are already keen to see the back of Higuain, with many suggesting there is someone already on the books at Stamford Bridge that can replace him up front.

Tammy Abraham has spent the season on loan with Aston Villa in the Championship, scoring 24 goals in 36 appearances. He has never been given a proper run in the Chelsea team, hence the third loan spell of his career, but now could be the time to get that chance.

Here's what the Chelsea fans have been saying on Twitter.
