Chelsea Striker Confirms He’s Going Nowhere

|

This summer, numerous column inches have appeared in the media inferring that our Spanish striker, Alvaro Morata, could be leaving Chelsea Football Club.

With the new season now just a week away, the striker has confirmed that he isn’t looking to leave the club and wants to remain a Chelsea player.

The news source, the Evening Standard carries some quotes attributed to the player who scored 15 times in 48 appearances last season, with the quotes reading:

“On the first day of pre-season I spoke to Marina Granovskaia and with the manager and I said: ‘I want to stay at Chelsea’.

“They told me: ‘We have a lot of confidence in you and we want you to stay too.’ So everything was perfect.”

In fact, rumours of a move away from London due to the striker being unhappy with life in England, couldn’t be further from the truth with Morata further adding;

“All the people said I wanted to leave, that I was not happy in London but it’s not true. Now I have taken another house, a bigger one, near to Cobham.

“My wife is very happy. When everyone is talking about the possibility to leave I am here looking for a house.”

In another piece of news relating to Morata, it appears that he has ditched the number 9 shirt and taken the number 29 shirt:

Although we’re not sure the Martial bit has any relevance at the moment.

Hopefully, wearing the number 29 shirt will see Morata’s confidence improve, our fears that wearing the #9 shirt was starting to see him affected with the curse that has blighted so many others was starting to influence our thinking.
