One month away from the start of the 2017/2018 football season, reigning champions Chelsea are still without a striker after coach Antonio Conte unceremoniously dispensed of the services of prolific hitman, Diego Costa. The Blues were looking to sign Romelu Lukaku but were beaten to the deal by Manchester United.
As a result, the London club have now turned their attentions to Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata and are ready to offer around £70million for the 24-year old.
The Spaniard who scored 20 goals last season is unhappy at Madrid where his first team opportunities are limited and will consider making the switch to Chelsea where he will be tasked with leading the line.
Chelsea are willing to offer him a deal worth more than the £115,000 per week he earns at the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, is primed to power his side to the La Liga title this Sunday.
Ronaldo scored twice as Real Madrid beat Celta Vigo 4-1 on Wednesday, taking Zinedine Zidane’s men to within a point of the La Liga title.
Madrid went into their outstanding fixture, knowing that four points from their final two league fixtures, would guarantee them the title regardless of Barcelona’s results. And they got three of those points in Galicia.
Madrid only need to draw at Malaga on Sunday, to clinch their 33rd La Liga title.
Their arch rivals, Barcelona will host Eibar at the same time, hoping that Zidane’s men slip and they take full advantage.
“There is still one game to go. We know that we have to keep going right until the end, and team has been really good, we’ve played well, with confidence. We know that Málaga are strong at home, but we have to concentrate on ourselves, go there, and win.
“We’re going there for a win. This team always has that objective. We’re Real Madrid and we have to demonstrate that we’re better and that we want to be the champions,” Ronaldo said ahead of the final round of fixtures.
Speaking of a possible double, he stated that “we’re thinking exclusively about Sunday. We have to win to be the champions. After, we have 15 days to prepare for the Champions League.”

The Catalan giants, Barcelona jersey for 2017-18 have been leaked, according to Spanish outlet Sport, which obtained an image of the new style and sponsors on all three outfits.
The traditional blue and red vertical stripes have reportedly been altered to change size across the kit whilst maintaining a symmetrical pattern. With fans so used to seeing the iconic design, it may take time to become accustomed to the change of ways.
An away strip of solid red is greatly contrasted by the electric blue third-choice colour, which was last used by Barca in the 2015-16 season.
A change in sponsorship also comes in the form of Rakuten, a Japanese electronic commerce company that’s currently valued at USD $17 billion, replacing Barca’s previous deal with Qatar Airways.
Barcelona’s new deal is believed to be one of the biggest football kit deals done to date and the hefty worth of is estimated at around £47 million a year.
A four-year contract was signed by both parties that has the potential to make Barcelona the world’s richest club, overtaking arch rivals Real Madrid in the process.
“This agreement puts us at the forefront of sports club sponsorship, which has always been an objective for the current board of directors,” Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu told the press.
