Conte wants Real Madrid’s Alvaro Morata to replace Diego Costa

Chelsea striker Diego Costa is being linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge following a recent bust-up with manager Antonio Conte.

The duo were involved in a training ground spat and the Chelsea striker was dropped for last weekend’s game as a result of that. Telegraph are now reporting that Antonio Conte has already identified a long-term replacement for the Spanish international.

Apparently, the Italian wants to sign the former Juventus striker Alvaro Morata. The current Real Madrid striker has not had enough first team football since his return to Bernabeu and Chelsea are looking to offer him a way out in the summer.
