Shevchenko: Morata is the right striker for Chelsea

Legendary Former Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko has thrown his weight behind Chelsea's new striker Alvaro Morata to succeed at Chelsea. Much has been said about filling the boots of departed Diego Costa with many pundits doubting if Morata is capable of doing that even after starting the season with three goals after five rounds of matches but Shevchenko believes that he is simply a good match for Chelsea.

He said: “They have found a very good player in Morata,” Shevchenko told reporters at the Best FIFA Football Award ceremony in London on Friday. He has adapted very well. They are two very different players. Costa wasn’t happy so you couldn’t keep him. You have to replace him and I think the club were very patient in the market and found the right player that they were looking for.”

“I’ve been surprised that Morata has found the right chemistry with his team mates so quickly.

”Of course he knows Pedro very well and (Eden) Hazard’s type of game suits him very well. Morata is very good in the box and scores a lot of goals with his head.

“Chelsea create so many chances around the box, always crosses coming in from left and right and he has been clinical so far and this is a good sign for him to be successful.”
