Zola can unlock Morata's goals at Chelsea, says Wise

The Blues legend hopes that his former team-mate can help the struggling striker rediscover his best form to help them compete for trophies

Dennis Wise believes fellow Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola could be key to helping Alvaro Morata rediscover his goalscoring touch.

Morata has only scored three goals in 2018, and has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge following his omission from Spain's squad for the World Cup due to his lacklustre form.

But the 25-year-old, for whom Chelsea paid Real Madrid £58 million ($75m) a year ago, is expected to lead the line for Maurizio Sarri’s new-look Blues side despite falling short of expectations so far.
