Chelsea Striker Alvaro Morata 'Very Happy' to Join Atletico Madrid Ahead of Loan Deal

Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata is due to undertake his medical before completing a loan move to Atletico Madrid after arriving in Spain on Saturday night.

The 26-year-old has fallen down the pecking order under Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge this term, and those troubles have seen Chelsea complete the loan signing of Gonzalo Higuain from Juventus, seemingly forcing Morata further out of the picture in west London.
