Sevilla hold Morata talks as they eye loan move for Chelsea striker

Sevilla have held preliminary talks with the agent of Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata as they look to sign the Spain international on loan until the end of the season.

Goal understands that Morata's representative, Juanma Lopez, met with the Liga club recently in a bid to earn his client a move back to his homeland.

Sevilla are willing to pay the entirety of Morata's £140,000-a-week wages to bring him to Andalusia as they aim to continue their unlikely title bid.
