After lengthy discussions with Manchester United, Alvaro Morata, moved to Chelsea to replace another Spanish striker in the notorious Diego Costa. In signing for Chelsea, Morata has replaced Fernando Torres to become their costliest player ever.
In the 9 matches played since his bumper transfer from Real Madrid, Morata has scored 7 goals and assisted a further 2 in 590 minutes of football. With his hat-trick against Stoke, Morata has become the 17th player to score a treble for Chelsea.
