Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata is delighted to be reunited with Mateo Kovacic.
The pair played together at Real Madrid.
“Mateo, first of all, is an amazing person," Morata told the club's official website.
"He is a midfielder who is good with the ball, very technical.“
"He's a very good player which is very important for us because we need top players," he added.
Speaking about what he feels Kovavic brings to his new side, the striker was adamant his good friend would make a big impact.
"He can break through the lines with his quality, he can score goals and he has a lot of power in his legs," he said.
"With him we will win a lot of possession and he has the ability to carry the ball into the final third and provide passes for the strikers."
Morata feels Kovavic's arrival can boost his chances in front of goal based on their history of playing together.
“Yes, he gave me a lot of assists in Madrid," he said.
“We enjoy playing together and I'm very happy to have him here. I think he's one of the best midfielders in the world.
“I always try to help the new signings settle in, I remember when I first came here my team-mates helped me, and now it's time for me to do the same."
