Antonio Conte believes Alvaro Morata is well on the road to becoming the perfect striker for his Chelsea ‘philosophy’ after ditching Diego Costa.
Morata has hit the ground running at Stamford Bridge, becoming the first player to score and assist in his first two Premier League home games.
And Conte believes he is moulding the 24-year-old into the ideal centre forward for the way he wants his team to look.
The Italian was never quite happy with the characteristics of predecessor Costa, who is still AWOL in Brazil, and wanted to sign Morata from over a year ago before Real Madrid sold up for £70.
