Chelsea assistant manager Gianfranco Zola has confirmed the Blues and Atletico Madrid have held talks over the transfer of Alvaro Morata.
The Spain international striker has struggled for Chelsea this season, and following the arrival of Gonzalo Higuain on loan from Juventus for the remainder of the season, Morata is expected to leave the Stamford Bridge club in the January window.
Speaking at a press conference on Friday ahead of Chelsea's FA Cup clash with Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday, Zola provided an update on the player's future.
"I don't have updates on that, I know there are talks," he said when quizzed on the links with the La Liga side.
