Difficult Premier League debut for Morata
Spain international striker Alvaro Morata had a tough debut campaign at Stamford Bridge, and reports suggest that the forward may not get a second campaign to prove his value to Chelsea.


The Spaniard scored only 15 goals in 48 matches after his summer transfer from La Liga giants Real Madrid, failing to extend his decent start at Chelsea to go through his struggles in finding the net regularly while competition came in the form of French striker Olivier Giroud in the winter.

The player’s woes were arguably a major factor in the Blues’ inability to find the net consistently as a squad too, as they finished the season with only 62 goals in 38 league matches, the lowest goal tally of the top six teams on the log standing.

Chelsea keen on swap move
As reported by Calciomercato, it’s now been suggested that the FA Cup winners could use the forward as a makeweight in an attempt to land Inter forward Mauro Icardi. The report suggests that the transfer bid will consist of €35m-€40m plus Alvaro Morata for the Argentine striker.

In contrast to the former Juventus striker, the Argentine has been prolific for his side, netting 107 goals in 182 matches since joining the club back in 2013.
