CHELSEA: Morata is a better fit than Lukaku for Chelsea - Merson

Indeed, the former Arsenal player argued that Antonio Conte would be better off with Morata than Lukaku as a potential replacement for Diego Costa.

Merson insists Romelu Lukaku would also be a good signing for Manchester United, even though the Everton forward has been strongly linked with Chelsea.

"I would say Morata is a better fit than Lukaku for Chelsea," Merson added.

"I think he is a better all-round footballer. Lukaku is a goalscorer and if you look at the stats, the running and the sprints are nowhere near in the same league as Costa.

"Morata has played with world-class players at Madrid and Juventus and he'll be there for the little flick around the corner from Willian or Eden Hazard.

"You have to be bright and lively to play for Chelsea and those teams. My worry would be if Lukaku gets there, would he be on the same wavelength as those players? If he isn't it will keep on breaking down.
