Morata wants Italy retun

Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata is said to be keen on a return to Italy this summer, according to Calcio Mercato.

The Spanish forward, formerly of Juventus, is attracting interest from both the Old Lady and AC Milan in Italy.

Reports have linked the player with a swap deal to both clubs, with either Gonzalo Higuain or Gianluigi Donnarumma heading in the opposite direction.

Morata was signed as a replacement for Diego Costa but failed to live up to expectation in what was a difficult season for the Spaniard.

With just 11 Premier League goals to his name last season, Morata ended the campaign playing second fiddle to January signing Olivier Giroud.

The striker has been linked with a move away from London since he joined the club, with claims that he has failed to settle in the Premier League.

Despite starting well following his move from Real Madrid, Morata struggled during 2018 and went through a prolonged goal drought.
