“I am so happy to be here. It’s an incredible emotion to be part of this big club,” said Morata, 24. “I am looking to work hard, score as many goals as I can and to win as many trophies as possible.”
Morata is expected to be a direct replacement for compatriot Diego Costa, who has been told by manager that he no longer has a future at the club and is expected to shortly join Atlético Madrid, who he moved to Chelsea from in July 2014 for £32m.
