Sevilla Sporting Director Talks Alvaro Morata and January Striker Search

Alvaro Morata could emerge as one of the strikers Sevilla try to sign during the January transfer window after the club's sporting director didn't play down rumours of interest in the Chelsea No. 9.

Joaquin Caparros was asked about Morata on Thursday, per MailOnline's Pete Jenson: "We are working on many names. The important thing is that the player wants to come to Sevilla."

Going back to La Liga may be the perfect tonic for Morata's ailing career. The former Real Madrid and Juventus frontman has struggled for consistency since arriving at Stamford Bridge for a then-club record £60 million in 2017.
