Ben Foster has hilariously revealed that he stole a match-worn Gonzalo Higuain shirt from his former Watford teammate after it was left in the 'bottom of the locker'.
Chelsea snapped up Higuain on a short-term loan deal from Juventus back in January 2019.
He reunited with then-Blues manager Maurizio Sarri hoping to rediscover his goal-scoring form.
But the Argentine forward failed to get going at Stamford Bridge, scoring just five Premier League goals in his time at the club.

Though when Foster saw Higuain's match-worn Chelsea shirt lying around Watford's dressing room, he wasted no time in pinching it from Roberto Pereyra's locker.
Speaking on his podcast, he recalled: "A couple of years ago we left for the end of the season.
"One of the lads cleared his locker out but left the shirt at the bottom of the locker - it was Gonzalo Higuain’s shirt.

"Roberto Pereyra, he left the Higuain shirt just sort of sat in the thing. I’m walking out of the changing room thinking, 'well he’s left already, he’s gone to Spain', and I’m thinking, 'I am taking that then one-hundred per cent'.
"He left a match worn Gonzalo Higuain shirt just chilling in his locker - I was sniffing that right up."
Asked what he keeps in his locker, Foster replied: "Full of absolute crap mate.

"I’ve got clothes hanging up, I’ve probably got about two or three t-shirts in there and a normal jumper.
"In the middle of it I’ll have all my stuff I’ll have when I’m getting on the bike, so I’ll have my rougher big shorts, my head unit if I am doing a bike session, my towel.
"And at the bottom I’ve just got crap like old pairs of gloves and stuff you would just accumulate."
