After being criticised when Chelsea spent a massive £60m for his signing, Alvaro Morata has proven his critics wrong by continually putting in impressive performances.

The summer already has seven goals in seven games for Chelsea and due to his fine form former German star Lothar Matthaus believes other clubs will regret not trying to sign the Spaniard.

“I’m not surprised at how well Alvaro Morata has done for Chelsea, either,” Matthaus said.

“When it looked as if Dortmund were going to lose Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, I said they should go after Morata because he is a player who will score if he gets chances.

“He’s still a young guy but this is his big chance to play as the leader of the line in a big club.

“I bet a lot of other clubs wish they had taken him now.”
