Chelsea turn to Alvaro Morata?

Premier League leaders Chelsea are said to have revived their interest in Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata amid the uncertainty over the future of Diego Costa.

  • Costa, 28, was deemed to have had a bust-up with manager Antonio Conte in training earlier in the week, but this has since been dismissed by the Italian.

    According to Calciomercato, the Blues are keeping close tabs on the situation of Morata after they failed to negotiate a club-record offer for his services in the summer.

    The former Juventus man has been a regular on the substitutes' bench this season, and the Blues could move in for his signature, should Costa decide to join the Chinese Super League.

    Newly promoted Tianjin Quanjian are said to have previously tabled an £80m offer for Costa with wages of around £575,000-a-week - more than three times of what he earns in West London.

    Morata is also a transfer target for Arsenal, who are on the search for a potential forward addition this month.
