Last summer, Spanish striker Alvaro Morata moved from Real Madrid to Chelsea, having fulfilled his dream to work under the guidance of Antonio Conte.

According to Morata himself, he was close to the transition to Chelsea in the summer of 2016, and when the transfer did not take place, he promised the head coach of the "blue" that if he leaves Real Madrid, it is only for Chelsea.

"This summer I had many offers, not only from Chelsea and Manchester United, but also from other countries," Morata admitted..

"But the most important and constructive conversation I had with Conte. In fact, at the beginning of the summer I did not even know that Chelsea was interested in me. I thought they were trying to sign another striker, so I did not consider this option workable for myself ".

"But with Conte I talked regularly, and not only this summer. I felt that I was indebted to him, because it was thanks to him that I was in Juventus, although almost immediately after that he went to coach the Italian team. So since then I've always wanted to play under his leadership ".

"We have been working together for only two months, but I feel like I've known him for ages. Learning that he wants to see me in his team this summer, I did everything possible to make the transition take place ".

"I could be in Chelsea last summer.

Cesar Aspilicueta even looked for my house, we hired a real estate agent. This time, Cesar himself settled all the questions! ".

"After returning to Real Madrid, I talked with Conte and told him:" If I leave Real Madrid, it's only for Chelsea ". I remember how, after that, I told my wife: "Chelsea will be the champion this season". That's exactly what happened. Now we must repeat this! ".

In the first four games for Chelsea, Morata scored three goals and gave two assists.
