Bayern Munich eye up January loan move for Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata

Bayern Munich are eyeing up a January loan move for struggling Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata.

The German giants are said to be targeting the out of favour Spaniard as Niko Kovac looks to bolster his offensive options ahead of their battle for the Bundesliga and Champions League.

However, according to The Mirror, Chelsea will require a £3million loan fee up front as well as half of Morata's £140,000-a-week wages to be paid before they will consider any deal.

Bayern are said to be wary of the cost of the deal though and could be put off at the size of the financial outlay on a player who has not showed signs that he would improve their front line.
