Chelsea defender Gary Cahill has welcomed the imminent arrival of Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid.

Chelsea are yet to confirm Morata's capture but the striker is in London finalising his transfer.

Morata will cost Chelsea £78million, having failed to break into the Real Madrid regular XI last season.

"We've added a fantastic striker, he's very experienced even though he's at a young age," Cahill said.

"He's played in the Champions League and won a lot already in a short space of time, we're very excited we've signed such a huge player.

"We're looking forward to welcoming him into the squad and hopefully he can score a lot of goals this season and be very important for us."
