Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has finally got the striker he’s been searching for all summer. Wednesday evening’s announcement that Spanish frontman Alvaro Morata was heading to Stamford Bridge closes one of the transfer window’s longest running sagas and the player himself has broken his silence about the big money move.
 

As he prepared to leave Real Madrid’s training camp in the US to head for a medical with his potential new employer, Morata stated that; I am very happy, God willing, tomorrow I will be at Chelsea, a club that has always wanted me.”
 

“I'm not disappointed about anything, I've won four titles here [with Real Madrid], but now I only think of putting on the Chelsea shirt. I want to grow up, if I didn't I wouldn't have left. I'd like to thank Zidane and wish him luck for the upcoming season. I'm going to the team managed by the coach who has placed the most faith in me, and that's great for me.”
 

"Thanks to all the Madridistas who supported me. I will always wish Madrid the best. The last time I wore this shirt was in Cibeles."
 

It’s been a good week for the Premier League champions; Conte himself signing a new two-year deal on Tuesday and now the club showing their statement of intent by bringing in one of Europe’s premier marksmen.
