Scoring for fun as he leads the Chelsea attack, Alvaro Morata is now established as one of the most deadly strikers in the world. Lightening fast and unerringly accurate in front of goal, the 24-year-old has torn apart defences across England’s top flight just as he had previously done in Spain.
Born in the nation’s capital and a product of the Real Madrid cantera, the La Liga giants are rightly credited with producing such a star but, in truth, the Morata we now see at Stamford Bridge was actually moulded in Turin.
Prior to joining Juventus, he found himself way down the pecking order at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, star-studded attacking options including Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and even Gonzalo Higuain that made playing time incredibly scarce.
