Chelsea confirm signing of striker Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid in club record £70.6m deal

Chelsea have completed the signing of Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid for £70.6million.

The Spain striker flew into Heathrow terminal on Thursday, and the Blues have now confirmed the club-record deal after he passed his medical at Cobham.

Morata has put pen to paper on a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge worth in the region of £155,000 a week, and he will join up with the rest of the Chelsea squad in Singapore next week.

Antonio Conte's squad are in Beijing ahead of Saturday's friendly against Arsenal in the Bird's Nest Stadium, but Morata is expected to make his first appearance for his new club against Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
