And their quickly blossoming relationship at Stamford Bridge is great news for Maurizio Sarri, Pat Nevin says.
The former Blues star and pundit was impressed by the pair’s link-up play on Saturday against Huddersfield.
Chelsea stormed their way to a 5-0 victory with Higuain and Hazard bagging a brace each in west London.
Sarri’s side subsequently climbed above Arsenal back into fourth spot this weekend.
Higuain has been brought in on loan to lead Chelsea’s charge for Champions League qualification.
Sarri knows how to get the best out of the ex-Real Madrid hitman from their successful time together at Napoli.
Hazard pointed out after the 31-year-old’s arrival how the club have struggled to fill the void left by Diego Costa.
Alvaro Morata flopped and has been shipped out to Atletico Madrid, while Olivier Giroud is only providing back up.
Experienced No.9 Higuain, though, has shown early signs he can be the answer – at least short term – for Chelsea.
Reflecting on the Huddersfield win, Nevin wrote in his column on Chelsea’s official website: “Eden Hazard had those acres of space to enjoy himself in and entertain us, which he did royally.
“Maybe the most obvious thing learned is that he and Gonzalo Higuain look like a pair who want to work together.
“It is always the first thing you look for when you come to a club, someone who can operate on your wavelength, and clearly the Argentinean striker has clocked Eden and knows a good thing when he sees it.
