Sky Sports News report that Sarri remains determined to sign Higuain, who is currently on loan at AC Milan from fellow Italian side Juventus.
Chelsea chief-executive Marina Granovskaia however remains unconvinced that Higuain is the right man for the Blues.
Despite the reports linking the Argentine striker to Chelsea, Milan's sporting director Leonardo is eager to keep him at the San Siro.
The 31-year-old forward broke the Serie A goal scoring record under Sarri when they were at Napoli (36 goals) in the 2015/16 season, before making a big money move to Juventus.
If Sarri cannot convince Higuain to move to Stamford Bridge, then they may switch all of their attention to Bournemouth striker Wilson, who has 10 goals for the Cherries in all competitions this term.

Chelsea's current two first-team strikers Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud have both struggled this season, with just six Premier League goals between the duo.
