Chelsea, Arsenal target Morata: I could leave Real Madrid

Real Madrid signing Alvaro Morata says he wants regular football next season.

The former Juventus star is back at the Santiago Bernabeu after Real exercised their buyback clause in his contract.

The Sun says Premier League giants Chelsea and Arsenal are both interested, with the Blues allegedly leading the race for his signature.

Morata told Cuatro: “I do not have to prove anything to anyone.

“I am a player of Real Madrid and they will decide if they want me, otherwise we will find another solution.

“For my part I want a team that makes me feel important and I would be ready to stay in Madrid to win my place.

“My priority right now is the national team, with whom I want to win the Euros.

“Only after this competition will I think about my future."
