Chelsea hold up Morata Atletico Madrid move

Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata expects to be unveiled by Atletico Madrid tomorrow.

The striker passed a medical in Madrid on Sunday after terms between the two clubs had been settled.

However, the move was held up last night as Chelsea failed to send the appropriate paperwork, reports AS. But the forms are expected to be sent today.

Atletico are due to announce the deal this morning and aim to present him to the local media on Tuesday.

Morata will join Atletico on-loan to June with the option to sign permanently. This morning, he was waiting for Chelsea to grant him permission to train with Atletico's first team squad.
