Morata said he only wanted to join Chelsea

Chelsea in-form striker, Alvaro Morata has revealed that a move to Chelsea was so close in the summer of 2016 that he even instructed Cesar Azpilicueta to look for house for him. Morata also stated that he only wanted to join Chelsea after speaking with Chelsea coach, Antonio Conte.


“Last summer it was close,” Morata told the Daily Mail.

“Cesar Azpilicueta was a bit annoyed because he had already started house-hunting for me last summer.

“We’d even got estate agents on board. This time Cesar has sorted everything!


“When I spoke to Conte last summer, I said “If I’m going to leave Real Madrid, it will only be for Chelsea”.

“I remember I was with my wife after hearing him out in conversation and I said “Chelsea are going to win the league this season.” And that’s exactly what happened. Now we need to repeat it!”

Morata who has scored three goals in four English Premier League matches will be hoping to increase his tally when Chelsea host Arsenal at the Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.
