Chelsea complete record deal to sign Morata

Chelsea have completed the club record £60m signing of striker Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid.

The Spain international, 24, has signed a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge.

He scored 20 goals last season and helped Real win La Liga and the Champions League, but the majority of his appearances were as a substitute.

He joins fellow new signings Willy Caballero, Antonio Rudiger and Tiemoue Bakayoko at the club and will now join the Blues squad on their pre-season tour of Asia.

Chelsea’s previous transfer record was the £50m they paid to Liverpool for Fernando Torres in January 2011.

“Alvaro has proven class at the highest level and his quality will be a huge asset,” said Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo.
