New Chelsea signing Gonzalo Higuain was in attendance at Stamford Bridge to support his team-mates in their Carabao Cup second leg clash against Tottenham on Thursday night.

Higuain signed for Chelsea on loan from Juventus on Wednesday, but the deal went through too late for him to be able to feature against Tottenham.

However, the Argentine was still at the game and received a warm reception as he was presented to the crowd before kick-off.

Earlier in the day Higuain was put through his paces at Chelsea's Cobham training ground.

The 31-year-old, whose former clubs include Real Madrid and AC Milan, will be seeking to solve Chelsea's difficulties in front of goal.

Alvaro Morata, who looks set to leave Chelsea for a loan spell at Atletico Madrid, has found consistency hard to come by, while Olivier Giroud has been unable to hold down a regular starting berth, with Eden Hazard frequently being deployed up front instead.

Higuain's Chelsea debut could come on Sunday evening when Maurizio Sarri's side host Sheffield Wednesday in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
