The amazing Alvaro! Chelsea striker Morata proves Antonio Conte is not the only magician at Stamford Bridge

On the day that Chelsea manager Antonio Conte claimed to be a 'magician', striker Alvaro Morata showed that he too has a gift for wizardry.

Morata's wife Alice Campello posted an Instagram video of her 24-year-old husband using a red light to show off his trickery and slight of hand.

The former Real Madrid frontman, who is set to start against Watford in Saturday's early Premier League game, pretended to swallow and then cough up the light.

Alice was clearly amused as she giggled her approval, having earlier given Morata his cue to start by saying 'azione', which is Italian for 'action'.
