His Individual effort/work-rate and goal scoring ratio has never gone UN-noticed, His talent is never a doubt but some would argue that he is still inches away from becoming a finished product… Alvaro Morata has good eye for goal, good Aerial strength, quick feet, excellent movement and great positional sense which has seen him score crucial goals and drawn him comparisons to Real Madrid and Spain’s Fernando Morientes for possessing the same style of play…With these qualities , he could be said to be nothing short of a classical lethal finisher. Coming through the ranks at Madrid, ever since he made his first-team in 2010, he has since gone on to show a good level of consistency and prospect, represented and won trophies for his country at different age-level more so gone on to establish himself in the Senior squad.. With loan moves to Italian giants Juventus and back to Madrid, he is still yet to be trusted with the much deserved starting role at the club ahead of Karim Benzema whom seems to be performin below par..To this end,he has been subject to speculationh a move away from Madrid and it has not come as a surprise that Madrid can no longer hold on to the services of the young protege and just have to do the needful by letting go of the Spaniard..

Alvaro Morata has joined Chelsea from Real Madrid for a stunning fee of 70 million pounds which makes him Chelsea’s record signing formerly held by his fellow Spanish compatriot Fernando Torres… With Diego Costa looking set to leave, One would say, this is just the best time for Morata to join the blues as this serves as a perfect platform for the Spaniard to get enough game time which is going to be vital to the development of his game..The question remains: Has Alvaro got what it takes to lead the line in a club like Chelsea; Would he be able to absorb the pressure that comes with such heavy price tag and rise to the occasion even without a single premier league experience..

Coming into a team such as Chelsea at such a fee, he would be expected to start delivering as quick as possible and if that happens, it would go a long way to give him great confidence to go on and shine..He first has a daunting task of having to settle- in quickly with the whole new culture and life in London but its presumed that his fellow Spanish compatriots at the club would help him deal with that which sure would be an added advantage for the young Spaniard..The pace and energy he possesses would be very vital for him as he would be able to run at defenders but the physicality the league possess would sure be a talking point..

”I am happy to be here, very pleased to team up with a manager like Antonio Conte whom has so much trust and believe in me” those were the words of the new Chelsea boy whom is eager to shine and this is exactly what a promising prospect would cherish “Believe and trust from the Manager” …Antonio Conte missed out on the chance to work with Alvaro when he joined Juventus from Madrid on a two-year loan but have since spoken good of him and has great admiration for his style of play, with the experience Alvaro have gathered during his time at Italy, he should go on to forge a good understanding with the manager having got a understanding of the philosophy of the Italian football.. Of course the success he enjoyed during his loan spell at Juventus, poaching in a good number of goals(crucial ones) can show just how well he got settled in Turin; going on to win double laurels (league $ Coppa Italia) in each of the two seasons he spent there..

Just when it was believed that Alvaro was set to become Juventus talisman owing to the exit of Carlos Tevez back to Boca Junior, he was recalled by Madrid thanks to the buy-back clause stated in the deal…Rather incredibly attaining 1:1 goal ratio poaching 26 goals in 26 games for Madrid last season with just 14 starts and only managing to play full time on 5 occasion, this shows just how much more the Spaniard has in stock to offer if given enough playing time..Fresh from winning the Champions League, Alvaro has come to Chelsea full of confidence and eager for more success and with a team like Chelsea that of course are the defending premier league champions, Alvaro would defy all the odds to go on to shine at Chelsea..

At a prime age of 24, This move for sure is an adventure the young Spaniard would wholesomely love to explore and with all things falling in place; he just might be up for the center stage of stardom..Perhaps, Madrid may just realize the ‘gold they let slip’.
