Chelsea owner Abramovich in France to scout Morata

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is making a personal scouting check on Spain striker Alvaro Morata.

The Telegraph says the Blues owner attended Spain's 2-1 loss to Croatia this week to watch the striker in action.

Abramovich flew from London to Bordeaux especially to catch the game in which Morata netted the opener, his third goal of Euro 2016 already.

Real Madrid confirmed this week that they will activate his £23m buy-back clause and are then expected to sell him on for a profit this summer.
