Alvaro Morata will be under pressure to replace Diego Costa at Chelsea.

That is the opinion of Cesc Fabregas, who Morata will now join as a club teammate as well as for Spain.

The 24-year old has been brought in as a direct replacement for Diego Costa, who is on his way out of Stamford Bridge.

Fabregas said: "When you are the main striker for Chelsea you need to fight for all the competitions and if you are going to fight for all competitions you need your strikers to score lots of goals.

"That's why I'm saying they [Morata and Michy Batshuayi] are taking this challenge and they will be under pressure. When you're the striker of a top team this is what you live with and they will have to cope with it.

"I've always had a good understanding with him (Morata) to be honest. He's always been a striker with a little bit of everything. He has a lot of potential, the same as Michy Batshuayi to improve. It's up to them how far they want to go."
