Chelsea boss Antonio Conte tried to sign Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata last summer but Real Madrid refused to sell after his buy-back clause with Juventus was activated.

Reports in Spain suggest Morata isn’t happy with life at Real Madrid and a report by The Telegraph claim Morata would prefer a move to Chelsea over Arsenal if he is allowed to leave this summer.

The 24-year-old striker previously worked with Antonio Conte at Juventus and he is a big fan of Conte’s work at Chelsea.

Morata has reportedly told friends he expects to be a Chelsea player next season.
