Chelsea target Alvaro Morata has arrived in London to complete move to the blues.
Antonio Conte side after losing Lukaku to Manchester United turned their attentions to former United target Morata and yesterday agreed a fee with Real Madrid for the 24-year-old.
With three big departures from the champions either completed or planned this summer, Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata will be the third big signing to arrive to fill a gap once he completes a reported £58m move.
Chelsea bade farewell to club legend John Terry, who joined Aston Villa at the end of his contract, but they gained £34 million centre-back Antonio Rudiger from Roma.
Having left him out of their 25-man preseason tour squad, the Blues seem set to sell Nemanja Matic, but they have gained £40m midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko from Monaco. And now, finally, they're about to sign a striker to replace the outgoing Diego Costa.
Former Real Madrid star Morata talking to media at the airport in London said, “I am happy to represent best club in the world Chelsea.”
Commenting on Chelsea boss, he said, “Antonio Conte is one of the best coaches of the world and I am happy to work with him.”
