'It was a disaster!' - Morata considered leaving Chelsea in the summer

The Blues striker revealed that he was thinking about leaving Stamford Bridge after a nightmare second half to the 2017-18 Premier League season

Alvaro Morata has admitted that he considered leaving Chelsea for a return to either Spain or Italy before the transfer window closed.

The striker only joined the Blues from Real Madrid last year after being frustrated with his playing time in La Liga ahead of the 2018 World Cup.

After a bright start in London, Morata was soon dropped from the Chelsea starting XI as he began to struggle with injuries, netting just one Premier League goal in 2018.
