Chelsea complete signing of Alvaro Morata
Alvaro Morata has joined Chelsea from Real Madrid in a deal reported to be worth £70million.
Chelsea have completed the signing of Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata on a five-year deal .
The Spain international arrives for a reported £70million after the Stamford Bridge club missed out on re-signing Romelu Lukaku, who joined Manchester United from Everton for £75m.
Torino forward Andrea Belotti, Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Manchester City's Sergio Aguero were all purported targets for the Premier League champions after boss Antonio Conte told Diego Costa he was not part of his future plans.
Conte and Morata missed out on working with each other at Juventus when the former took on the Italy job in July 2014, but the 24-year-old striker is now set to spearhead his title defence.
"I am so happy to be here," said Morata.
"It's an incredible emotion to be part of this big club.
"I am looking to work hard, score as many goals as I can and to win as many trophies as possible."
