Real Madrid returnee Morata remains high on Chelsea agenda

Alvaro Morata is still a serious transfer target for Chelsea, according to reports.

The Spanish striker has been confirmed as a Real Madrid summer signing after the Spanish giants opted to exercise a buy-back option in his Juventus contract.

Morata, 23, will return to the Santiago Bernabeu from Turin for £23million but could still be sold on by Los Blancos.

According to the Daily Mirror, Morata remains high on Chelsea's transfer agenda and it is believed that the West London club could table an offer this summer once Antonio Conte arrives from his duties as Italy boss at Euro2016.

Arsenal are also in pursuit of Morata who will cost any interested clubs around £45m if Zinedine Zidane decides to sell him during the current transfer window.
